the 74 z1 turbo project again

i wouldnt want to offend anybodys strict family values by posting pictures of a modified bike,so ill just remove my project picks .might i suggest we go with a new format of strictly blank pages allowing only pictures from a certain carb rebuilding company,and make sure all other tech postings are approved by the grand wizzard of internet pasting as to not cause any future issues ?B)family values ya know!ya wanna know what offends me? well youre gonna find out anyway its a certain carb guy who feels he has to belittle anybody who posts a question or trys to answer somebody elses carb question,how dare they question the all mighty one?ya wanna know what else offends me ?its another guy who cant stand to think there is anybody in the world who might know something he doesnt no matter how much experiance they have or how well their way works !if he cant chop and paste an article about it from the internet about it,it cant possibly be true!any ideas about who these folks are?

removed as to not offend those who know all and know it better than anyone else !!!!!!!!!1B)

And I will always have room in my garage for any of your projects:)

i think you guys will be happy with the progress .i cant weld much anymore because it screws with my pacemaker but i can cut and hammer sheetmetal gussets out then brian gets to tack em on and weld when he has time,i told him im gonna be a hands on pain in the ass on this project.:laugh:

where theres one picture!:laugh: this was after it was raked before steering head bracing.

theres going to be tubing braces running from bottem of steering head following the origional stamped gusset under steering head to the downtubes to about 3" below where current gusset is cut off

there will be another set of backbonebraces around 6-8" back where the red marks are located.im making a steel plate to bolt between the stock coil mounts to tie the bottem backbone tubes together that way it can be unbolted to give access to top of motor,the welded in ones take up a lot of space.im either putting the coils under the seat away from the motor heat or else im going to rebuild one of my old hahn beltdrive magnetos either way the coil area is now going to be empty.depending on where i mount the turbo i still want to mount some sort of puller fan behind motor to pull air across it when its not moving so i might wrap the top of backbone area with some sort of dynamat insulation to help guide air through there and keep some heat off the bottem of fuel tank also.
