Brad Smith adapted a cap from a D2 to a D3 I think? He had to push the mounting bolts back about 4mm or something, apparently works fine ?

Another 5 years !!! great news. Like most, I don't log in here or post often enough - might make an effort to do a bit more here I think

Rob, if you do end up looking for one, try and get the E or F models - the last of the line and the best-developed.

Do you have frame number, rego number? If you do could do a rego check in each state. Could check PPSR site- $2 check will tell you if it was written off- be careful there to get the correct site- plenty will give you that info at higher cost.
I understand getting an old bike back. Took me 16 years ...

there was an interesting story on facebook today, about this exact issue. Apaprently as a result of covid and the issues with public transport - heaps of punters have been lining up to buy new or secondhand bikes - the lack of stock on some dealers floors is probably directly as a result of this.

funny thing happens when you retire.........its like self-isolating without a pandemic

so when the plague hit - almost nothing changed here. In the shed every day, playing on 1 bike or another.....or several all at once

HNY all

are you saying the light goes out once the motor is running?

I have a bit of F and G stuff mate. Send me a pm

yeh that bike has been around for a while now - Sandy loves it but doesn't ride any more. I think he did this colour scheme as a tribute to the psychedelic 60's and 70's that he loved so much

heh Bob - if that motor is all original and complete, the B1 still had the injector ports cast into the cylinder head. Later B2 and ZX1100A1 models didn't, the injectors were on the throttle bodies.

Will have a look at a couple of 1100A1 motors in the 4th tomorrow and confirm that engine number ...

Hey Gos, can you ID this for me please mate.
ZXT10A007503

Brewster - that is a GPz1100B1 motor - 1981 vintage. Pretty early in the build range as well.

Looking forward to seeing some new pics as well

Ok so no trade plate so didnt get to test ride :shock: .so screw it paid and sorted just waiting for phone call and to see if they will swap the dunflops over for metzlers.hopefully good to go this weekend ;)

nice work Mal !!!

I am waiting for the first upgrade - hopefully will have wire wheels ...

Powdercoating is fine, as long as the frame prep is 100%. My local powdercoaters also have a blasting shed, so the frame and any other bits are all sandblasted properly, immediately before the powdercoating is applied.

Looks like a great score for $0 !! These are the best bikes ;)

No surprise to ...
