Well I am ready for the MoT...

I know it may not look like it when you study the pictures, but the last few parts are at the garage ready to be fitted on Saturday, these include, new brake pads, and dust seal (hence the cloth holding the brake pipe out the way) new front tyre and tube, and a split pin for the castle nut :wink:

So I would like to thank the people who donated parts and offered help, that is what makes the club so great, and with any luck she should pass on Saturday, and I will be able to get a few miles in before winter..

All it needs now is a bit of cleaning and tidying up. I guess I will have to get it insured, but I don't really have an idea what a Z1b is worth these days?? anybody want to hazard a guess at a value :??

Roll on Saturday

Any MOT inspector worht their salt wouldn't dare fail it, one look should be enough, as per value christ don't start that here as far as I have gathered by reading posts its worth between 2k and 7k depending who you ask :lol: Looks great to me.

For now I do, money needs to be diverted in a different direction soon, but if a nice used system came up I may be interested. :wink:
