Hi Guys,
I'm Simon from the UK and bought something I knew I shouldn't have at the time but it looked so meaty and just a bit more "old school" so I parted with my hard earned cash for a 1981 Z1100 trike. Well, some 12 months and 40 miles (yes forty) I have a trike that has had rebuilt forks, resealed brakes, modified frame, new paint job, replacement engine and new rear lighting. I think the swingarm is the same as when I got it but that's about it. Its not far from running now but I have some god awful engine gremlins which i'll go into in the right forum.
Thanks
Si

Hi Si,
Great looking trike you have there, well worth the time, expense and effort I'd say!
Nick, also from the UK (Durham)
