Looks great Wilbur - are you still running the original injection ? If you have any issues with this bike just sing out, I have one of these in the stable and have spent a fair bit of time sorting out EFI/DFI issues for early Zeds and GPz's.

It looks a lot shinier than any stock kwakka I can remember from back then :lol: - but the Z1000J did come out in a blue version.....I can't think of too many others that did ?

I'm guessing this is where the American (I want!) blue paint scheme came from for the ZRX:

Here is an aussie-spec 1000J from back in the day. I am pretty sure that when REVS first road-tested the J back in early 1981 - the bike on the cover was a blue one just like this :kuda:
