GPZ1100B1 WINTER TIDY UP READY FOR SUMMER

[Padders]

Depends on Hutch and the paintwork Steve, plus the seat is away at saddlecraft. Fingers crossed but it will be tight.

[Ginger Bear]

Fingers are now crossed then. I can lend you a modded seat, if thats all that's all you are short of come 'show time'.

[Padders]

Appreciate the offer Steve will let you know nearer the time.

If you need bodywork Ian, you can have a loan of my freshly done GPZ1100B2 paintwork (550 fairing).lol that should get Hutchy moving...



not standard but I like it!!

[Padders]

Looks nice Ian the firecracker red does it for me everytime. Should go well with the jacket. Might see if I can lose weight

[Iain marshall]

The B2 is what we're using to go to Germany on

[davy thomson]

Who did your paintwork Iain?

[Iain marshall]

Local paint shop, it was worked into a deal so couldn't say no. Otherwise it was going to be trip to see Mr Hutch

[Padders]

Been a while since the last post I have fitted the fuel injection system and airbox . Fitted all the engine covers and new chain etc. I have now started on the wiring. Had a nice surprise this morning when the recovered seat landed from Saddlecraft. Cannot recommend them enough excellent work. They fitted a gel pad at the front for those longer trips.

Will get the bike out of the garage for some photo's over the weekend.

That looks really good Padders

Lovely looking seat. My only gripe is that it isn't on my bike.

Looking really nice Padders.

Its been a slow old rebuild but i finally managed to complete the wiring and fit the new leads and plug caps I bought at the recent Newark show. Ted popped round yesterday and helped me fit the right hand exhaust. (Hobbo turned up for a coffee ten minutes after the exhaust was fitted as usual) Just waiting for the other side to have the inner skin spigot welded by Hutch then I can paint and fit the rest of the exhaust. I went with the original matt black on the exhaust rather than gloss or satin. Heres a couple of pictures of her today no where near the splendid restorations of he likes of Ralphs ST or Guys Z650 but this one was always intended to be a quick tidy up to use and abuse this summer.

Fingers crossed the next pictures will be of the completed bike.
