Have any of you seen the new Z900RS? I think they did a great job in channeling the original Z1!

These bikes have been out since 2018-ish. I want one so bad. I think I'd go for one from the first 2 years, as they have the original orange/brown Z1 colour scheme, and they're starting to slowly pop up in the used market.

Oh happy day! I love getting parts. My new swing arm bearings showed up. These are German made bearings, and $6/ea. cheaper than Partzilla/Z1E.
Krazee1 - you are a frickin' rock star! I got the shims you sent today, too! Now I can get the head back on the motor. Woo hoo!!!!

She is back on both feet again. I packed the swing arm bearings and pressed them in today. Got the back end put back together. Now if I could just get to the bench with the cylinder head on it... :dry:
