Looks like your well on your way to fulfilling a dream... Nice work and the paint looks right from here.

I would like to ask a favor while your at this stage and things are accessible.

I am building a KZ1R Modified/clone and I need some measurements for mounting the Z1R seat and tail lock, specifically I really need template drawings of the front two pocket brackets and the aft latch bracket also locating measurements from say o/c of the cross bar or something shared with the KZ frame.

One more thing, if you do get rid of the after market side cover I still need both so PM me a price should you let it go please.

my project:

Sweet as mate, more than happy to help. I will get in the shed tomorrow and do some measuring for you. You build look sweet, what frame are you using?

Thank you very much sir!
The frame is build date 1976/77 KZ1000 A
I would love to pay a sack of gold teeth for one of those gauge brackets also

Tune

Looking good

A few more clocks and you have cockpit like a Spitfire.

A question about wheel balancing.
I read that you use glass balancing beads, is it just a case of dropping them in and start riding?
And what is the round aluminum thing on the rim?

You are more than welcome to the gauge brackets but they are the rejects. All bent to buggery. Happy to send them to you for the cost of the postage.

Yep, pretty close to be honest!



Not sure on the glass beads as it was a mate of mine that put the tyres on for me. Will ask him. The alloy bit was a plug made to fill the hole where the wheel locks came through. I have put tubeless tyres on the rims.

Holy shit the canoe from Canada finally arrived!!! Three and half months later but I finally have a left switch block! Happy days.

Super project man, enjoying the thread. Subscribed!

Hey Larriken, I've been meaning to ask. What oil do you use for engine break in after a rebuild?

I think the recommended is 10w-40 but I always use the heavier 20w-50.

I'm after a specific brand / type, I understand synthetic is a no no, I was just hoping you had a tried and true, go to option that was readily available in NZ. Please and thank you.
