I just finished a TC Turbo

I restore bikes for a living and I am lucky enough to get to work on some interesting and sometimes rare bikes. This is an interesting one. It wasn't a full restoration I just had the body work repainted, went through the brakes, re-plated some hardware, changed the tires, had the exhaust re-chromed(without the copper layer so they won't discolor so quickly)and cleaned up the engine and wheels. I rode it before I tore it apart but I will confess, I wasn't man enough to get it up on the turbo, I too afraid to wreck it since it's not mine. I remember when the Z1R came out and I rode one, liked it and thought it looked okay but now days I think this bike is really something sharp. This is the bike I was looking for the exhaust connector for because UPS lost the one for this bike. It was a journey but I got the piece I needed from one of the members here and I was screwed without it. Thanks FastestZ1!

You did a great job on a beautiful bike.

Who did the chrome

A place called The Plating House of Canada, I've been using them for a few years and they do a great job.

bike looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
glad I could help,,,

Very nice job on the Z1RTC! I see something in the background of the first picture that caught my eye, next project? Was it PlatingMaster in London Ontario that did the chrome? They have done work for 40 some odd years and are well received. Like to see more of your work here.
Thanks

The Z1A is one of my riders, it's in very nice original shape. It's one of the bikes I had in my post about my Z bikes. The pictures on the wall are the bikes I have restored in the last 4 years, 15 of them. I could post a link to them if someone wanted to see. The House of Plating in Vaughn Ontario is the chromer I use.

Beautiful work ! Yes post a link I would like to see your other restorations.
