    Gorgeous...hXc will be keen on that 'cos of the colour. Nice job.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    You've done a great job. It's hard to believe that it's the same bike as in the first pic. My old Zundapp was in a sorry state before I restored it but it looked mint by comparison with how your Z looked. Talk about resurrecting something from the dead!

    Cheers, thanks for sharing.

    Excellent work.

    Very nice work

    what did you clean the cases up with or have you painted them?

    If that bike is as wide and as big as it looks, I doubt I'd be able to touch the ground. Definitely not a bike for pygmies like me.

    Awesome work!!!

    I read in one of the turgid english classic mags that these bikes are getting into the unuseable stakes because you cannot purchase the internal chains? ie non stocked by kawasaki. I guess thats the 2 big hivo chains?

    Had to use the engine hoist to put it in the frame, or even pick it up for that matter, the bike is just over 300kg and the engine must be over half of that

    Thats correct, they are even difficult to find on eBay, I will have to do some research, there must be someone that can make them up. I have another motor to build and I put the best chains in this one

    I stripped the cases first with my own mixture of paint stripper and concrete cleaner, works a treat, then etch primer, 2K primer followed by 2K base coat silver and clear lacquer over the top. Lots of work but it should clean really easily and resist stone chips.
