But today after more hours flatting and polishing it looks like this...my el cheapo two grand z1b tribute, homage, replica..
I swear it feels even stronger to ride now it's painted, if bikes do have soul that ones got loads of it and it'sit's finally found it's pride now it looks like a proper bike..

Looks the donkeys strawberys mate... Well done.
 
I would just add a shiny new number plate on the back and it'll be perfect IMHO...  ;)

Awesome work, wish I had some spare money I would love to do up / customise a Vamaha 535 Virago or turn some sort of trail bike into a supermoto

Great job Paul. That looks mint. I liked the single saddle, but I see why you went with the original unit. Still,  :thumbup

Excellent job. The old Zeds have got to be the ultimate classic all time bike silhouette ever. Love it.  :thumbup
