Just wee footnote on this rebuild its bloody hard to post stuff about a bike that was a fellow members bike, just want to say anything I am doing to the bike is my choice as this is the way I have always wanted my next Z to look,the work that Phil has done to the bike makes my life easy i just feel guilty doing it hope this makes sense.
