If anyone wants me to go and have a look at this rig, sing out.

I will send you Gos just so you can take it for a burl but the price is a problem for me

Do you know it at all Gos?

no worries HBB

Glenno - not 100% sure that I know this bike, but I have a feeling I might know the owner. Having a closer look at the front end - those calipers are not stock Z1A units, they are later units from a '76 model. I think it might have a 4-bolt front hub as well - stock Z1A hubs were 6-bolt hubs. This means that the entire front end could have been lifted from a 76 model or be a combination of parts ? Its not an issue unless the buyer wants a concours model - only trainspotting anoraks notice these things

Mmmm I think I might know one of them

So as a non stocker if it really is as good as it looks is it worth the kind of dough he's asking?

pretty much. 12.5k is a good price for a Z1A in this condition - you would offer him 10 and see how it goes - especially if you could bargain about the non-stock bits? The thing with the rotors is, you would not know the difference unless you had a bog-stocker ( like my Z1A) up against his bike.

It would not really cost that much to sort out the front end back to stock Z1A anyway.....with the right contacts

SEE YOU ON THE ROAD S C A G !!
