New Restorer's Book

#1 PostAuthor: Garn 1 » Sun Aug 16, 2015 10:39 am

At last somebody has finally reproduced an exact copy of that original air silencer, that is usually missing from the classic bike Z900-A4.
It has been manufactured professionally and is accurate in every detail. A true credit to the dedication of a member of this forum for his commitment to restoration.
I purchased one recently from "epay" and I am simply delighted and pleased with it's form and fit to my latest project.

Photo's will be with you soon and I will name this Oze member from Mandura Western Australia, who is aligned with many forums, that cover Zeds.
He comes on this forum often.. goes under different names in many forums, however, most will know him.

Ps...I posted this in "Discussions" (I never go there!) and the interest, gauging by replies was nil. Maybe I'll hit the mark with this "BIKE HELP" arena.

Seems strange that a book is related to a bear !.

Thanks guys... I really stuffed up! My tiny brain can't cope with two subjects!
Anyway I found most people read "Bike Help".
And sorry again..
I wanted to talk about this.....

Many years in the making a genuine forum player and classic restorer has produce a top level book.
I only came by a copy this week, as such, I have not had a chance to review it.
With just a quick glance/ flick thru the pages, I can see it's all there.
All of the photos have been painstakenly selected and will go to make for easy description reading.

Although, I feel there looks to be a balance of different classic bike brands, I, like this forum, will see a wealth of Kawasaki Z1, 650z's and Gpz material.
Hear is a photo of the cover of this recently released treasure.
