I have seen them. If it was mine I would replace the sprockets and chain with normal #530 items. That double setup wastes power during acceleration because it adds considerable rotational mass that the engine must spin up, plus it adds unnecessary weight to the bike. It does look pretty impressive though. Ed

Hey, I have a frame and pile of pieces that looks just like that! :)

Your Z1-R looked pretty clean before you started. What inspired you to tear it all down?

And what exhaust is that? Looks sweet. Oh, and nice garage!

Oh, and here is a picture of the H2C. Not restored, I just made it road worthy.

Do you have a plan for replacing the VIN/Date sticker on the steering head? Any source for reproductions?
