Your welcome mate. It’s what this site is intended to do. Good luck with the wiring harness. They are very scarce. I would recommend buying a used one and taking your time in repairing that.

Excellent. What was the cost for the starter refurb?

Well obviously you know the right end of a spanner and your not shy to taking on a challenge. Looking at the 250 your also very capable of doing a good job. I am looking forward to seeing your progress with the 750.

This is not the only resto I’m into, I have another unloved model the Honda VT250F for which spares are even harder than to find the Z750, also have a SD900 Ducati Darmah which Ive owned for 41 years

Sounds like a sensible approach from all angles. We can work it that way no problem. I will help where I can to get you running again and can then help with the full restoration if needed.

Back on the road to begin with  complicated by it being a bike belonging to a dead man and having no documentation not even a regno, on the IOM there is a strict test to pass, eventuall  then full resto

No problem. Not been good times for last 18 months but nice to see things starting to approach a normality again.

Are you looking to do a complete restoration or just get her road worthy again?

Within the next couple of months

Either way your passing mine. When are you thinking of coming to England?

Sometimes Liverpool usually Heysham

Sounds like a plan is unfolding here . . .

I’m in Bolton Near Manchester so quite possibly achievable

Where are you, in England I should be coming over soon now that we are out of lockdown.

I should be able to sort the rear foot peg hangers. Will any parts you need require posting to I.O.M. or do you know a way to collect?

I have quite a few prices in the shop. The parts you have asked for aren’t there yet. I will send you a PM with some details.

Thanks for the advice, do you have a pricelist? Do you have a frame that is beyond use? some one in the past has sawn off the pillion/exhaust mounts. i need a battered frame  from which I could remove the mounts and weld them back on to mine.

Piemaker your reply is in you profile area. I can supply all you have mentioned. Seat and tailpiece are no problem. Forks start getting a little more technical. I don’t have and standard ones to just send out. You can get replacement tubes though. There is a guy on ebay does them but at £174 not cheap. I’ve used aftermarket tubes from a z900.…[Read more]
