Dutch 1977 Z1000 Build

How is it with the original coils? What about fitting stick coils? Plenty of room under the tank then.

Steve,
I was thinking about denting the tank a little, will it not damage the inside?

These coils are part of the Dyna 2000 kit.
I will make a bracket which will turn them inwards so that I have more space for the other cables.
Are you sticking to the old points ignition David?

Eric

I had to position my coils under the mounting brackets, It isn't a problem because you can't see/ notice them (on the Z1R anyway) when the tank is fitted. The only time its a pain is when removing the valve cover.
The other issue I found that when the coils are too close together they can cause a miss now and then.

Yup,Im staying with the original gear for now.I might change later but I just cleaned everything up and put it back together. It did work before I took the bike off the road.Fingers crossed.

P.S. I just sent you a PM on a different subject.

Sent you p.m. back.
This is what i found for a Z900 wheelbase but I think Z1000 is the same.



Just measured mine, 151cm so well within limits with a GSXR front and a ZXR rear end.
I guess you are not far of from that.

Eric

You weld some and you grind some :S


All cables will fit now.

Also just in, late Christmas present :laugh:




New headers from Delkevic and a new battery.
.

congrats on the parts arrival!
i picture a sheetmetal version of pepo's subframe for your tail light mounting :evil:


keep us posted,
leon

That's a nice looking bike Leon.
Keeping that subframe in mind

The quality of the Delkevic looks promising.
I have the bike on a stand for the moment so the I cannot try them out.

they do look like a nice product.

leon

Looks great and nice to see a dutchie building

I think there are more Dutch builds on the Dutch forum, but I like this forum and the people on it



Cleaning the inside of the tank.
Seen a lot of different mixtures but my tank was not that dirty so tried it with 2 liter real Coca Cola.
Turned out nice so then I bought 18 liters cheap crappy Coke :laugh:
Let it rest for a while and then a lot of flushing.

So done withe liquid department on to the nerve center.
Made a bracket for the Dyna and next job is the wiring loom.




Eric

Not much progress, down with the flu :sick:
Extended the wires of my left handle bar.
Cut them and then soldering 15cm long pieces of wire in between.
Gives me more flexibility but 11 wires X 2 soldering is 22 changes of failure
Also had to relocate my bracket for the Dyna unit because I forgot that this was also the space for my circuit brakers.
And cut the extra long piece of the coils.
I believe these where for mounting them on a Suzuki or Yamaha so don't need them and gives me more room for cables.









Also charged my new battery, hope to connect everything this weekend and have the engine turned to check compression.
Anyone have some good figures for this?
When I tried it with the kickstarter the figures where around 90.
