So I'm finally gettng around to restoring the Z1 my father bought new in 75. I have contacted Paintworkz to have the body repainted, seeing they are pretty knowlegeable on the Z1's.
At this point, I'm just gathering a list of items I'll need. So far: Shock and foot rest bushings, emblems, exhaust (not sure whether I should go for stock), stainless steel spokes, steering bearings, carb kits, levers, seat cover and the rear brake pull rod.
I may need new shocks if they don't polish up and the forks rebuilt.
The bike is stock except for some things my father added: K&N cone filters(I have the original airbox), 4-1 exhaust, I think he changed the jets, I have to check the numbers when I get them apart, and a set of Koni shocks, I still have the originals.
The only thing I decided on was to paint the frame instead of powdercoat. It still has the decal on the steering stem and I would like to keep that in tact.
Any words of advice from you guys? I'm trying to keep the bike as close to original as possible. I do have a factory service manual too.
Thanks.
