Little progress on the turd, looking a little better. Should be on the road soon

Done for now. By for one of the best running Z1's I have ridden. Engine doesn't make a sound, shifts idles perfect. This bike kicked my ass, I don't want to look at for awhile. I'll put a few more miles on it and put it the corner and cover it up. I'll make a decision whether to install laced wheels and 4-4 exhaust later. I'm done cheers
