Sounds like a good plan Mark look forward to the pictures over the coming dark winter nights.

Nice day for a 360 mile round trip :skep

So the bike is what it said on the tin - Project needs work :!:

Its a 1978 Z1000B2 (de ja vous) and is well tatty .... but runs well - if a bit noisey... CLICKY THIS ONE

The wiring is bodged - lights don't work - forks are weeping - paintwork is sh*te - tyres are rather old & hard - red p/coated frame is peeling......

.... apart from that, its like new :twisted:

Didn't take me long to swap the bars though;

...parked the old heap in the only available space in the Pigford household and gonna wait for the next dry weekend for more messing about...

Even so i think you did good with the purchase :wink:

And besides it beats watching the TV through the winter months

I agree with Mr Puffin, I think that's a nice little bike Mark with tons of potential. One day I'll get another LTD, or wait for you to flog this one :wink:

On the positive side- it has got a GPz head conversion fitted.....

........ errrrrr, OK so it's just the cam end plugs :oops:

Sounds a bit rough in that video, make sure its got 12 volts at the coils and give it a right hand re-bore. That should sort it out.

Excuse my ignorance - what is the GPZ head conversion?

Could be a bit of work needed on the engine by the sounds of it Mark but I am sure it's nothing you cannot resolve over the winter months. Look forward to the updates as you go along.

How's the W650 coming along.
