Dutch 1977 Z1000 Build

Wiring loom.






Done

I am not that good in describing technical parts in English because it is not my native language so if I write rubbish please let me know
Some other jobs done or almost done:
Bracket for rear light (CBR600R)

Chain and sprockets:
Good clearance on both sides, need 2 mm of the hub to get better alignment.
Have about 5-6mm between tire and chain so that will be ok.

Cleaned the carbs:
This is why this forum is gold! found a "poor man's" ultrasonic cleaner from another member :lol:







Before blasting and ultrasonic:

You can flip the rear sprocket around if it's flat on the inside and dished on the outside. It won't gain much but it will be something.

Bike looks a lot like my '78 1000 I've been tinkering on.

Later, Doug

Thanks Doug,
Will look into it tonight, maybe saves me some milling.
Eric

Very nice start !!!!!!!!! :laugh:

I will be keeping a eye on this one
Dave

Thanks Dave.

Could not resist and went to the shed to take a look at my rear sprocket.
And yes if I flip it, it will give me another 1,5 mm.
Maybe that will be enough but than I wil have a not so shiny side visible and looks are important :laugh:

Could be a job for.......

Its easier to let a machine shave 2mm of than destroy my elbow on some polish and a cloth :S

BTW the reason the "K" was dropped from the designation in the Euro and some Brit Commonwealth markets was because KZ was one of the abbreviations the Nazis used for concentration camps (German: Konzentrationslager, KZ or KL).

Didn't stop honda from releasing the goldwing 1000 in the UK with the model designation of KZ.

Keep up the good work, looks good

Any plans with the old seat ?
