Looks like your well on your way to fulfilling a dream... Nice work and the paint looks right from here.

I would like to ask a favor while your at this stage and things are accessible.

I am building a KZ1R Modified/clone and I need some measurements for mounting the Z1R seat and tail lock, specifically I really need template drawings of the front two pocket brackets and the aft latch bracket also locating measurements from say o/c of the cross bar or something shared with the KZ frame.

One more thing, if you do get rid of the after market side cover I still need both so PM me a price should you let it go please.

my project:

Let me know what else you need.

On a complete side note if you noticed the big ol Victory bagger in the background in a few shots......................it's finally finished and going back to it's owner. Least I get me bench back. Came out pretty good too!

.......................and one sad little Z1R lol

Super project man, enjoying the thread. Subscribed!

Hey Larriken, I've been meaning to ask. What oil do you use for engine break in after a rebuild?

I think the recommended is 10w-40 but I always use the heavier 20w-50.

I'm after a specific brand / type, I understand synthetic is a no no, I was just hoping you had a tried and true, go to option that was readily available in NZ. Please and thank you.

I just did a little research, Castrol GTX 20w-50 looks like a good option

I am surprised that you have not already gotten 5-600 replies to this oil question.

Some say to use the cheapest crap around.
Some say to use name brand regular oil (non-synthetic)
Some swear by this-

I stopped using Castrol two years ago. They changed the formulation. Not good for the clutch. I run Rotilla and it stopped burning oil. No problems. Instead of using cheap oil, I can get a gallon for $13. Might as well use the good stuff at that price.
