Very nice, love roundness of the engine casing. Heat is always the answer to all things seized  |

Very nice looking bike  If you heat the bolt up until its red hot then try and loosen it. |

Yeah, the blow torch arrived in the post the other day, and I've treated it to a new coil as well - so it's just a question of getting a day off work and doing it. I'm off on Friday, so I should have an update pretty soon - hopefully a good one!

No dude - no rest for the wicked. The world will be thrown into disarray and everyone may die world wide if the televised roulette doesn't make it to air! Had a nice weekend though in wales - went down in the viva with the new Aldon ignition and some fresh plugs - didn't skip a beat!

Yeah, I'll upload some, but I'm on 'the other retro site' as vivaboy, so it's on there as well. It's the grey estate with the slots mags and scallops

Hello again all! - I've been off of here for ages - been pretty busy. Just bought my first house - all on shoe string, up to my neck in debt, got a different job...... Anyway, I'm hard up and and I need to sell the Z. Since the last update here I did a load more tarting up and fiddling and got it through the mot with no advisories. It looks fantastic but it still smokes. I don't know if it just needs to be worn in (It's done about 14 miles since the re build (including a 1mm overbore and new O/S pistons and rings) - but I just dont have the time or space or money to keep messing about with it. I've got a CBR400rr nc23 which I ride into work and the Z is just sitting there. To my shock, the mot is up next month and it's literally done nothing since. The 14 miles on it where from a couple days after the last mot! I'd stick 12 months on it and upload some newer pics but her it is:- It's cost me about 2 grand so far - and I know we don't do these things for money, but it's currently pretty unridable, in heavy traffic at least due to the excessive smoke output (although I haven't fired it up for a year so I'll take it for a spin and let you know how it goes). Becasue of this, it won't get good money - but I'd be gutted if I stuck it on ebay and it got £300. So, before I stick it in the far sale section (granted only a couple up to date pics yet) - how much do you rekon it's worth? I think I may have got a ring the wrong way round maybe? I honestly don't know now - I just know I've put in far to much time and money and now I have other concerns. I'd be glad to answer any questions - and consider any offers! It's had a crap load of new part and work done, but you know, I think I need to cut my losses a bit. Thanks for looking! Oh - I'm Essex. Cheers!        |
