I chose the colors guy, (pics dont it do it justice looks completely different in the flesh its a real apple candy red) but let jak have a free hand and he came up trumps, knew he would as he and his mate tim done my Z750 twin many many years ago and he had a free hand with that.

Cracking repair job Mikey! Are you doin the crankcases etc in black as well. Z1 Style? Didnt know you could get powder coating done in satin black, that started me thinking for my Z1A resto. :idea Top yokes etc got to be more hard wearing than paint :up . Keep chippin at it Mikey you get there in the end.
