I would buy it and see how far you could go with it. Parts are available, just be careful. you can get repo air boxes which would work very much better than pods. The front end wobble at 90 is bad triple tree bearings. They used not wobble until 130 when new. All balls roller bearings in the triple tree make them handle a bit better anyways.

These old bikes are fun and it fun to watch how old guys like me acts around a nice Z1 in the parking lot. But I do have to admit compared to my C14 the old Z's handle like log trucks. :whistle: But they are still fun.

Good luck. Tim
