Hi everyone. Ive been looking through the forum and have seen some really kool bikes. I've always loved the Z's. Recently Im the proud owner of a Z650 F1 series. Ive had it for a year and been tweaking it here an there. My bride calls it the other woman! Working my up to a Z900 or z1000. Working on my next project. Z650 converted to a 750. Looking for more chrome and painting it the Vuclan VN900 metalic green. Hope to be able to get some words of wisdom from some Z gurus out there as Im going through the rebuild. Hard to find a true old skool z expert! many thanks! looking forward to talking to to similar enthusists.
Regards
InFekted

Welcome aboard mate, theres a few of us that like the old Z's around here, Gosling1 being one of the most knowledgeable. Here is my z650, they are a great little bike aren't they?

Cheers all!
Tx Mick love the z lots of chrome (drewwwwl!)
Is it a B series? I've always loved the chrome spokes. Not a big fan of the alloy rims.

Yup, it's a B1 with plenty of extra chromed and polished bits, a Yoshi 720cc kit and a really crappy paintjob which is somewhere next on the to-do list

Re: New - Z Addict
Wow so you've bored out the 650 to a 700. I was thinkig of the same but using a wiseco kit. Much of a difference in grunt? What do you get with a Yoshi kit?

No idea, the previous owner did it along with pretty much a full rebuild of the engine and I reaped the benefits

And on the seventh day Richo ended his work which he had made. Decided resting was for soft cox, straddled the REX and headed up the old road.
And it was good
