Wow that looks like it can be made into a Fun Machine! 🙂

[Tango]

Thanks to KK & his beating Stick!
I also managed to fit my New Shock Absorbers that I bought from Zpower.

These units were 20mm Taller than the standard ones as I wanted the bike raised a fraction.

She now feels better and Looks better to!

Also had a second opinion on a couple of thinks I thought could be issues! But I’m assured they are fine! So now with my chain adjusted spot on. The Bike Runs Sounds and Rides Great!

Another Good Weekend and a couple more steps in the right direction!:-)

Well Yesterday I didn’t do anything on my bike, Other than change a weeping bleed nipple.

So as there was no sign of a leak on the bleed nipple this morning. I decided to give the bike a test run with the new exhaust on.

OMG… 🙂

She sounds Great! and I’m not sure but the bike felt smoother, Less rushed. She felt great just Burbling along in 4th gear.

This is a photo of one of the silencers, it has a sticker on that makes me think its an American exhaust? … Not that I care much as it sounds Awesome! 🙂

[Tango]

Ok I Suppose you can have a rest!”

I Guess that you have earned it! .. lol

Not to much though! We want to see the photos! 🙂

[Tango]

We can try it against mine KK.

Well I got finished with work early yesterday as I was on a course. 🙂

So I called into Zpower on my way home. Opps £… 😀

I noticed one of my shocks had a leak when I fitted the rear wheel after having my new tyre put on.

So after a chat with the guys in Zpower I set off home with a New Pair of shocks tucked under my arm, a New pair of Front foot rests & what do you need if you have new front foot rests, Yep your quite right! .. a New pair of Rear Foot rests! 😀

So that’s this weekend’s jobs sorted! 😉

Hi Dibble1

I must congratulate you on the fine choice of a B1. 🙂

The chain guard is I feel an important part of your bike not just safety wise, but visual wise as well. Its a personal preference thing on the looks of it.

You will be able to get something to fit.

Its just going to be a case of looking at other bikes you see, and seeing if you think it can be adapted?

Ill keep me eye out to. 😉

The Mounting points for the chain guard are quite close together on the B1, I think something from a Z1 or a Z650 may be close! 😉

😮 No End Silencers! Michael you are a Bad Influence! 👿

I must admit The look of your engine Michael in your previous photograph is fantastic!

I think I may have a Go at that clean edge to the Cooling Fins, but I very much doubt I will get them to the standard yours are at!

😕 🙁

But I have plenty of time to perfect them each time the bike gets cleaned in the future 🙂

And Are your engine cases Polished or Chromed? 😮 😥 That looks like a Lot! of work to get them like that!

[Tango]

Nice Marko, George it is! I like it!

My Bike is a she … As she is a Cantankerous Old Girl! Named Pearl … after the metallic paint & Michael has Classed her as a “Zmuggler” as she is a Kawasaki Z & has Space to Smuggle goods behind the Fake air box I adapted! 🙂

[Tango]

🙂 I have to say it does sound good!

I put that new exhaust on my B1 the other day, ok it’s not as loud as yours. But riding the two bikes together should be quite a sound! 😉

[Tango]

Yes Michael todays photo is a poor one! It was getting to dark to take a good photograph!

No The Fins on the engine are not cleaned off. 🙁

😕 What between you and KK I’ve got my work cut out Keeping you Guys happy! You pair of Slave Drivers! 😆

I will take a look at that!

But with All the work I get done and these little Tips you keep giving me, I’m hoping I will have a Bike that will be good enough to be
admired and be proud of! 😉

[Tango]

I was feeling that the Exhaust looks a little Long!

But the Original looks about the same kind of length?, just maybe at a little more of an upward angle?

[Tango]

I have bought some Silkolene Classic 20/50

[Tango]

😀 😀

Well Done to Both of you!

Im Impressed It looks like you had a lovely day with No issues and you had the Sun along for the ride to! 😎
What more could you ask for! Maria looks very confidant on the Y its a nice bike and a good size for her.
On the photo of Maria sat on the bike it looks like it is a comfortable riding position for her.

Well Done Michael you are to be Congratulated on a Job well done there! :pint:

[Tango]

But I am happy with how much I have got done!

I sorted the rear wheel out & got it fitted back onto the bike & tensioned the chain.

I picked up some oil this morning, some Silkolene Classic 20/50 Mineral oil;-) So that has been put in the bike after fitting the new sump plug that has an added magnet;-)
So that’s the oil change complete
And I have also got the Exhaust fitted:-D
Oh and just to make sure I put my multi meter on the battery to recheck the bike was still charging, and she is it read 13.4 on idle and went upto about 14.96 when I increased the Revs;-)

So here is where im at now! 🙂
