He thinks he overpaid a little...I kept getting out bid on eBay and just was not finding anything decent. In 2009 I paid $400 for my Z1R project, so I figure I am dollar cost averaging here ;) If I say I got the Z1R and the KZ900 for $6600 together, it does not sound as bad :)
 
That's exactly the kind of argument I could see myself using, to feel good about my decision...

After pulling the clutch, if you choose to go that way, dropping the pan would be a good plan and look for metal in the debris. A nice clean pan is always good.

I work slow, but eventually I get stuff done :) All great tips here! I almost gave up and sold the project, but I am back on it.

I pulled the valve cover and it actually looks really good. Pulling the clutch and pan are good ideas too, and I can go ahead and pull the top end part if I need. No luck with soaking and trying the sprocket nut.
