Been awhile but I finally got around to rebuild the 73 I bought from RobK 6 months ago. Just got the engine back from complete rebuild. I have two boxes of original z1 hardware getting re zinked. Gaues and handswitches have been restored more pics soon

Hey Rob what's up buddy. Yes I am running lesters on the z1. Every time I get a set I sell em. So when I got this set I hurried and had new sealed bearings and new tires installed and had my brother hold on to them. I have a bad habit of selling everything.
Rob btw do you still have the file with the bike in pieces, I lost it deleted it. If so please resend it.
cheers
