And the cases are too shiny (polished)
Yep. Those stick out like a sore thumb to us. It is 'pretty',.but looks like bling for bling's sake. Seems to be a common mistake, and many viewers who don't know OEM finish are distracted by the shiny baubles (Ooohhh... pretty!)
. It looks good on a custom, but not a resto that's supposed to be correct at premium cost.
It's surprisingly difficult & time consuming to achieve the fine-grain brushed semi-shine (fine linishing) finish of OEM Z1 aluminum parts vs the mirror finish of an over-restored, mirror polished finish. The good news is, the person doing the polishing has completed the task of removing corrosion and discoloration otherwise done with increasingly finer wet/dry abrasive paper when working toward a linished OEM finish. When a mirror finish is already present, the correct finish can still be recreated.
Moving on, at that price, we'd like to see photo proof of all date codes on that bike of every component (torque link, switchgear, shocks, disk, etc., etc., etc) on which date codes are clearly documented in John Brooke's excellent handbooks and elsewhere.
Good Ridin'
