Just when I was going to log off for the day... Thanks, Phil.

I have a mate in Brisbane who does quality repairs on old and new tanks. He doesn't do the respray but he may be able to repair the structure... I will vouch for his work.His name is Paul Bushell and he also owns GAZI suspension. Mobile number is 0414 629 044.
I can warn him of your call if you like.

One day, Phil... One day.
Give me some notice for the next one and I will have to front up... It looks too much fun.

Very nice!

I need to have a Saturday night off the cans and get off my arse... A month full of parties for some reason.

A great addition to my Zed was fitting a Sargeant seat... Well worth the coin as you get tired of the standard item pretty quick.

Ditto with Glen... They are not thick and bulky and toasty warm

I hope this worked... Photos taken over the Easter break. The seat is far more comfy than stock item.

I asked Harv about his wheels last weekend while they glistening (blinding us) in the morning sun... They look incredible but I dont have that much time in my life to complete the same process and achieve the same results on my own wheels.

Got home last night and my Sargent seat had arrived for the Z1000... Its a pretty good fit, looks good and feels comfy enough. Need to test on a long ride though.

Hoffy,

I have just parted with the funds for a Sargent Seat from the Oz distributor for my Z1000... I trust your judgement on the seat itself but can I expect any dramas with the local supply?

I had RB Imports at Caringbah do the dyno tune an I must say they were really good. I have had the same kind of work done elsewhere but without the same kind of "enthusiasm" that RB Imports showed... They discussed everything with me and showed a real interest in the whole thing.

I agree with the Akra solution... I put the full 4:1 system on mine with PC5 and got almost 140HP. That figure is not the most important issue because more importantly, the bike is just so much more fun to ride... Maybe just a little bit loud.

I am now on my second new-gen Z1000 (first one stolen) and today I picked it up from RB Racing after having the a full Akra fitted with PC5, dyno tune, etc... and all I can say is "great fun".

I still miss my old ZRX so i agree with others. Keep both

As good as it gets, Jonno, and a long way from the dramas of 6 months ago.
