Hi z1kzonly, well spotted. Its a bit of a mongel. When I rebuilt my original b1 I thought I would need some spares so I bought a donor bike from the US. I actually only used the airbox from it so had 99% of a bike I didn't need. Over the years I have collected loads of bits and pieces, as we all do, so I thought I wou,d build the bike I wanted back in the 70's. Apart from tires and suspension it is all period.
The wheels are CMA race mags from a 74 Z1. They are fairly rare as the guy who made them back then died when repairing a one. Welding gear and magnesium are not good bed companions. It's also got Raask rearsets, micron brace, damper, progressive springs, Guilari seat, tail tidy, stainless exhaust and a host of engine mods with comp of 220 psi to name the major mods. It's one of those bikes thats never actually finished and gets tinkered with every winter.


Z1000J2 somewhat modified!
