1978 Z1000 Barn Basket Case.

hardrockminer post=847498The first set of carbs look to be 26 mm Mikuni's from 1977 or 1978.  The second set are late Z1A and Z1B style of 28 mm Mikunis.  Look to be in poor condition.  The third set I would guess are spares for the first set.



Thats what i was hoping that the first set were the original carbs and the second set are indeed 1975 z1b, i have a set all ready on my Z1. There are in the process of being fully brought back to life, i all ready had a rebuild kit and  i own an ultrasonic but they fairly pitted oxidised and rusted. Ill post pics of the result tomorrow.

Its probably an aftermarket item someone laced up for racing. DID was (and still is) a vendor to the big manufacturers but they also sold rims through dealers to the public. The CSR front would not be bad choice as the rim design is close and the spoke count isn't too noticeable, the biggest difference to me visually is the chunky rim lip on the CSR rim and the aftermarket rim has a deep draw center.  Excell rims will look very similar as well. 

On the money as always Doc and that’s the look I’m going for, I’ll see if I can budget for Z1r drilled rotor disks for the front, the fork rotor mounts should be good for the Z1r disks right?
