Your workshop is a lot better than mine, a lot tidier too. Good luck with your build. Oh and welcome.

alright....got my GPZ B-1 bodywork the other day, it's all goint to need new chassis tabs but will fit the ST frame very well i think!
as it sits i only have about 20 deg of steering angle, but plenty of steering stopper to cut away, ill just have to "massage" the tank a little.....

im itching to get stuck into this build, but until we move and i get a shed progress is painfully slow!!!

[Flying Tiger]

This is going to be awesome!! All the best with the build, and keep the photos coming!

[Flying Tiger]

I know your not keeping it, but i quite like the '1000' on the tail!

[kiwi kdx]

Haha mate i love the Retro 1000 on the tail! i even re-thought my paint scheme when i saw it.....

[kiwi kdx]

my stem bearings finally turned up the other day so i could get my forks on propperly, and yes it is in the lounge on the coffee table......

[Ginger Bear]

Looking good! .................... Don't for fooks sake get any grease on that carpet.

[Koreanbaz]

what wheel Hubs are you using to get a good spacing for radial brakes?

[kiwi kdx]

haha, the wheels, its always about the wheels..........


the spacing from disk to disk is 135mm, so yes its perfect for modern forks and radials.


they are Ducati sport classic or GT1000 wheels, i have had the rims powder coated and added stainless steel spokes.

the only problem is they are almost fucking impossiable to find!

[kiwi kdx]

thanks mate.

Im just starting to tidy up my spare wheels and my first instinct was to powdercoat the rims Black on this set too, but im in two minds..... as im think of my next project being a more stock looking Zed...

what looks better in your opinions
Chrome:


or Black:

[Is Vic There]

Black, deffo

[sanderz]

Prefer the black wheels meself.

Think they'd go well with the black mudgaurd / swingarm and gold forks

[Z1parR]

Black spoked rims look as cool as

[kiwi kdx]

ok so only small bits of progress thees days....

been working on the rearsets i got off turbo, he's an ok bloke even if hes not my friend anymore coz i told him how gay 4 stroke dirt bikes are.....

got some Proteck pegs on:


master cylinder and brake switch turned up too, just waiting on a CNC gear lever then ill magiclly make then all black.

[kiwi kdx]

gear lever turned up today, so i threw that on and its a tad too wide...

when i tighten up the foot peg bolt it clamps the lever solid, so ill have to take to it with a file when i get a chance.
