Now about the z1 question. Maybe Jeff you can tell us about the whole z1 tank set. Is it the same quality as the original stuff? The whole price brings that to mind. The tank is more of a concern than the sidecovers. Is it quality like the original as good as or is the build different.
I heard that the tank was not the same and that given time would be more prone to rust.
I know that maybe there are not a lot of people, to make it worth the manufacturer's while, who restore these old bikes but I think that the build should be precisely the same specs and quality should be at least equal if not MUCH better than original.
It always seems that the replacement parts are just cheap and half thought out replacements designed to empty our wallets and make us frustrated at the end result. There are many of us who would pay a reasonable price to get it done right the first time.
So the question remains. Tell us about the quality Jeff. I may just put an order in for a set if I could be reassured that the quality is equal to or better than original. I certainly would not be interested in buying a set to find that the tank is not the same size or fitment.
Really for a thousand dollars? I paid almost that much to get an average paint job on my tank. For a great paint job more than the cost of the pieces so really what gives?
