Lookin' real good!

Fitting the carbs, after those air-box boots are installed, is easier, I found, if I rolled the boots back onto themselves, and then slide the carbs in from the side.

What are those fuel filters?  I'm planning on adding a pair to my Z1 after cleaning the carbs.  I like the one 90 degree and one straight idea.

Took the Turd out for it's first shake down ride yesterday, fires right up and pulls strong. Back in the garage I noticed the cam cover leaking.

Excuse the riding video my Wife doesn't know how to hold the phone when taking pics/video so I couldn't embed.

The Turd is almost ready to send down the road to a new owner just needs new tires and a chain guard.
Here's a pic of my two money pits.
