very nice; please keep the update coming. I like seeing ANY kind of classic bike being done well. Also as I say a z650 and 2x z400j owner as well as my triples.

Another bike ive been doing a long time is my £500 Gpz1000RX seems a bargain read on , it came with the engine in a bucket there
were more bits than i knew came in a engine :o so ive sourced a good engine checked it over and its in ,pressed the make a lot of
noise button and she fired straight up to say i was amazed is a understatement, so just all the bits you have to scratch your head at
wondering where they came from to fit the downside of not stripping it yourself especially on these modern plastic fantastics.

Well the day came to press the noisy button for the first time and away she went
just minor carb adjustments to do and check timing now, tank etc should be ready
for collection next week to complete her
Ive added a couple of pictures of a project ive bought ready for next winter which
is more relevant to this site ;)

Just finished a set of z650 clocks.. Before and after photos.. Good to bring a z650 back, and give it a new lease of life..

very nice job.. and I like the look of that Delchevic exhaust as well. think I'll get one for mine while the price is so good.
Also like the stuff on the garage wall. very similar to mine!
