Hello Everyone
22 Jun 2006 08:13
Hello I am another new member from England.
Used to own Zeds way back, bought my Z1a last september from a friend who imported it from the USA in 1990.
Spent all winter rebuilding it, Braced the frame, sourced an old Dresda Box section swing arm new springs, bearings etc. etc. It now handles a lot better. Getting rid of the 15 year old Pirelli Phantoms probably helped the most.
Its got a welded crank, 1000cc barrels and pistons , dyna coils and ignition and Vance and Hines Exhaust and next winter it will no doubt get a wiseco 1075 etc.
I am absolutly in love with it, I ran a 1200 bandit for a few years and this is just so much more fun and I feel so much more involved with it, having built it up my self.
Any way heres a pic.
Regards Steve
:woohoo:

Welcome Steve! That's a beautiful bike you've got there. I love my 750LTD but a mid 70's 900 is pretty much my dream bike. When I finally get one, I hope it looks as good as yours. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
