I guess it’s a choice for the forum “owner”I have never considered paid membership and keep the place ad-free through members’ donations and a couple of sponsors. The downside is that the same members pay most of the time (and probably more than they would have to for an annual fee)The upside is that search engines can read everything so new members find us more easily and that “lurkers” can read all they want without the faff of joining a forum. When they want to contribute or ask a question they join up and we welcome them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm a bit gutted you're not sharing the build on here Dave, as I don't frequent the Z1 forum much any more. But, looks like a great start for a build and a lot of the hard work has been done.Here's my MkII...
I’m glad you didn’t decide to snap it up Roy, I’d have had to watch you build it through my fingers thinking ‘that’s what you could have had!’.I’ve printed out the relevant pages of the parts book, so I can get a handle on what parts I need to find. The good news is the very high standards to which the parts I have got were restored to, clearly someone set out to build a keeper.It’s too much of a stretch to do a build thread here, it not only has two cams but also the K word on the tank. If you can bear to visit the dark side, I’m doing a build thread on the Z1 Owners forum which I have joined. It’s surprising how many names on there I know from here! Already they have saved me from an expensive mistake where I was going to follow the previous owners idea of building the Z1 hub into a wheel using a genuine Z900 A4 rim - you could but as the spokeangles are quite different due to a smaller hub, it wouldn’t end well. The A4 front wheel is now for sale, if anyone needs one.

You would however probably be able to access more specific help on the Dark Side. Hope you will update us occasionally with how its going though Dave with a few photo's. I joined the Z1 forum yesterday to watch the build but it would appear that registering is not enough, you also have to pay. Until I actually own a Z1 it's probably not worth it.
