Renovation Time
z1100r:
Certain things about this bike have amazed me...it may look shabby on the outside but the inside of my tank is as new. I just examined it with my flexible optical doodah. Also All around the filler neck is as new and the petrol tap - allthough mega coroded on the outside - is mint inside with one spec of something black in the filter. The bowl also undid easy and the tap still has a lovely action on the lever. Its never been apart in its life...amazing. I was expecting a right fight with it to get it off. It has some very annoying little dings in the tank one each side that I remember doing - all by dropping stuff on it, a biggish one at the back under the seat - photo grahping something on the seat when it toppled forward, and a long slow one under the left badge which i did when I fell of it once in the snow. Oh well shouldn't take me long to fix once I've made some dollies to get inside it.
Bryanj:
Dont forget the washers under the tap screw heads or it will leak through. I used dowty washers as generic fibre ones are too thin and too big an OD
z1100r:
