Then started on the electrics, fitted the battery box etc.

Rewrapped most of the main harness and zip tied it in only to discover the tail light and dash lights wont come on, FUCK!! after a fair bit of electrical circuit study and head scratching I did some exploratory surgery on the harness and found the break, Thank fuck for that, electrics aren't one of my strong points.

Re soldered the break and put it all back again, all good.

But not there yet, thinking of putting a Buel 1125CR mudguard on or making my own, give me your opinions please.

That front guard looks good mate, you should try that.
Shorty chromed steel guard, it'd fit the 'original but custom' feel of the rest of the bike I reckon.
looking good mate
A few more progress pics.

Although the headlight and instruments are in the correct position they look too high to me and I was thinking of dropping them about 2 to 3 inches, waddayarecken?
I'd wait till you got the bars on , will prob change the percevied hight. But I think they might look nicer a little lower just the same
Yeah I think your right, I've been looking at a few pics of Z1's other people have done and lower looks better I think.
Sumthin like this.

Getting close now, Still waiting for the flat bars, bar ends, hand grips, switch gear, grab rail, rear blinkers, clutch cable and a few other bits which should arrive next week.
I decided to go with the Buell guard, I also dropped the headlight about Two inches, I think it looks ok.

Stole the muffler from the 1100 till something else comes along, and decided to use the old Marzocchis which still need a good clean up.
Man I'm looking forward to seeing this!
