I'm not nearly as far along as you, but seeing yours is quite the inspiration. Thanks for posting your progress with your build.

Thanks mate appreciate your comment.



OK after 1 month and 4 days,this is where I'm at, at the moment.

Carb's cleaned and assembled ready to bolt on....

Now were talking !!!!
Everything is fitted....except the carbs,tins,starter motor cover.... the front brake lines need to be fitted and bleed.

All electrics are hooked up, and to my surprise working.:whistle:

Rear brake was a pain to bleed....but bleeding the master cylinder first did the trick.

In this pic,you will see the secret to my success.

i hate to say it but......

I like you to trianglelaguna....spoken in a very deep manly voice.

I'm impressed! Thats some nice work, great attention to the details. I had a picture in my head of a frakenbike mixture of a Z1R and Mk2 when I seen the title, Won't make that mistake again. Be proud of this one, it's beautiful. My hat is off to you!
Now I'm really getting anxious to get back to my project.

OK,heres the last pictures you'll see before its completely back together.

Everything is hooked up and working "just waiting on the coils for fire up".

Brakes are all fitted and bled...all electrics are operational.






Now I'm off to get my spray painter motivated.:evil:

Cheers...Dave

What rubber do u have on the black one?

Struth... leave the room for a minute and you've nearly finished your whole damn bike.
Nice work mate.

The rears have Bridgestone Spitfire's and the front Perelli's...both old tyres which will be turfed for something like Metzeler Lasertech ME33'S or my old favortes.. Bridgestone Battlax,that I run on the ZRX and the 750 turbo.

Guess what...Shes alive!!!

Was waiting on some dyna coils before start up,as I didn't think the coils were producing spark.

Anyhow,hooked up the battery,fed it some fuel and turned her over.

Gura.. gura.. gura,feck... the battery wasn't turning it over as it should..might be a earthing problem.

Haha,I have a kick starter,within two kicks she came to life...at the moment I'm 1 happy camper.
