Good luck.

Grahamm,

There is a specially made frame brace kit available from Z Power which is shown on their web site.

I have seen one fitted and the frame re-coated and it looks great--in fact you wouldn't notice it if you weren't in the know of what an original frame looks like.

Do you really need one?

If you do then Z Power are your guys.

Ring Dave or Phil on 01942 262864

Regards

Somebody gave me this and told me it was what Pops Yoshimura did if it's any help.

Try this one mate



Same as above, but in TECHNICOLOR

You may do worse than check out the race and race replica bikes that are due to appear on the club stand, along with their builders/Owners at Stafford classic show in October.

Better using a Z1000J as they've got a factory braced frame as standard
