got a lot of body work done but its not painted yet so no pics

but I did get a killer deal on this 1975 z900

16000 original miles everything looks great on the bike most stock some engine problem (have 2 spare motors if worst comes to worst
$400 with a clean title

what do you guys think good deal?

Great deal, more pics of your new toy

What are you kidding... $400 for a 75 Z1 with title yet.... Hell ya that's better than a good deal...

TOUCH-DOWN!!!!! Go Green!

That's what I was thinking on the way home HELL YEA
especially when I found the maintenance for the first 10,000 miles written down on the original owners manual in the tail.
Not to mention when I came home and found out that the only engine problem (on the 15,000 engine:)was when the last owner put a new chain and sprockets on he put the side cover on crooked so when he moved the bike the cover rubbed on the sprocket nut and broke. I guess I fixed the blown up motor huh.

well got some crap pre paint pics but there pics none the less
love the new aluminum +6 swingarm and the cbr taillight

She's looking good. Keep up the good work. Great deal on the 75z1.

Hey, how's bout more info on the tail light mod? It looks to fit quite well in there, and blends in with the tail piece... mind shareing more details & pic's?

Nice find on the other Z -- funny, I was out hunting parts for my 76 LTD, and found a complete 82 GPZ 750 for $600... couldn't pass it up!

Your bikes coming along nicely... keep up the good work!!!

sorry guys I have been slacking on updating

the way I made the cbr900 taillight look decent is I made an aluminum bracket to hold up the taillight where I wanted it then covered the taillight in painters tape then duck tape ( mans best friend) and filled the gap between taped taillight and the tail with kitty hair (fiberglass body filler)





I did get the bike painted and somewhat put together for pics








the bike is almost done as of now and is currently up at my school shop waiting on me to tune the carbs so hopefully next week you guys will get the finished pics and I will get to ride her

Wow, thanks for the tail light info... next I wanna hear about those rear sets! And of course... more pic's !
