Believe it or not my missus thinks it should be a goose rep lol. The motor has deffo been out cos the frames been powder coated so could be different from original..carbs are black, so not original.
Yup base bike an ltd, Californian too as it has the weird cam cover for their emissions crap, though that's an easy swap out. I've heard of blokes rounding the squared fins off to mimic the z1s but I couldn't be arsed, it will always look like a copy to anyone who knows a bit about them.
If I can get the basic silhouette right without spending too much I'll splash out on a z1 paint job, though it's going to be tough on a budget. The thing is you can buy a mint early z1000 for 4.5k, a better bike than a z1 in many ways and just as good looking, so unless I can buy this and do it up for £2.5-£2.8k all in its not gonna be worth it. If it costs too much to get it looking right the tank will be rattle canned gloss black...
