I like that Ian, the 2:4 seat looks great. I prefer longer forks myself but I think the squat look suits the style of this bike. You must be chuffed with it.

They dont do 1200 badges :( but i have a brand new 2, 4 seat to go on with just Kawasaki on the back of the hump , brakes in the morning for a few hrs, hoping to be ready for an MOT by the end of the month, must thank hillbilly for giving me the chance to do something i have always wanted to do.

The main thing is to be up and running, then next christmas i can spoil it even more with wavey disc's etc.

Thanks for all the good feed back, i know i wont please everyone but that's the whole idea of building something for yourself and it makes a good talking point.

Cheers lads

You got that "spot-on" lad :wink:

If too many people like it, then it maybe too "formula" which will never do :twisted:


Grand job, hope you enjoy it to the max :party

Ian, that zorst is lovely. :drool

I can't understand why your clocks sit so upright. The ones that came off of those yokes sat 'just right'. Could it be your clocks are on the wrong bracket?

the clocks i have are a 73 z1 i think it is set up for z900 clocks mate, or i could look for a set of z900 clocks... or a z900 bracket may be the answer, do you know if i could transplant my stuff onto a z900 clock base?

I can't see why they wouldn't swap over, but I'm no expert on early clocks. :roll:

I'm sure one will be along soon. :D
