Hi Guy's. Thank you all for the wonderful comments. When Dave contacted me about about BOTM I blew it off as no big deal. He actually had to email me several times for deadline photos. Thanks Dave for your persistence, now that my Z1 is BOTM and reading all the comments, it is indeed a big deal and will try again for another . I need to thank member Robert Koch for selling me the basket as he could of easily parted it out on eBay,thanks buddy.
And to Les Holt, yes I find great pleasure in saving these motorcycles that many in the past abused and considered jap crap.No telling haow many ended up at the scrap yard . I think we all have that grin on our face when we find one in a shed or buried in the garage and after 20-30 years or so hibernation, bring them back to life. That is just a testament to the great over engineered motorcycles that Kawasaki produced.
I have 75 z1 I bought in the spring of 2014 that is next up on the restoration list so please keep an eye in the project section and a
78 that i recently picked up. The 78, I fired it up today
Thanks again guys and lets keep the old kz passion alive
next project
