75 Z1

I second that. If you decide to sell or not buy it, give me a shout, I'll take it

Already road worthy machine.

Looks like the 75 in my link sold. At least not available anymore. Hopefully someone here snatched it.

Went out to see the bike, made a deal, paid more than I like but oh well. Bike has tool kit never opened, no battery and Im glad for that. Cannot get the gas cap open. Thinking the rubber is sealed to it. Ideas? The only thing ever changed on it is tires.

Bad thing is the exhaust has a hole in it on one pipe both sides in back.

I'm going with wow. Very nice, painted pieces look excellent. Very nice acquisition.

Nice!

You need to keep it out of the sun or the paint will fade. Single original pipes pop up on Ebay or maybe have some patches welded on.

Wow, what a beauty! I bet it will sparkle after a simple wash. Like Kidkawie said, I have seen single pipes on ebay from time to time. Nice score! I would seek advice from a pro about how to protect the paint from cracking once it starts being in the outside environment. Even if it does start cracking, it isn't the end of the world. I have seen resprays here of only the clear layer with 2k clear with like new results.

Thanks, very happy. This will be a winter project, I have a car project going too. First thing is get the tank off and cleaned out but the lid won't come up. The latch is working. I assume the rubber has sealed tight to the tank. Ideas for getting it opened? I'm thinking get the tank off, pull the petcock, drain the nasty, pour oil in there, let it sit upside down a few days?
