Who want parts anyone else can have when you are building a one off custom bike, when you're able to make something yourself?
Well built "home made" wins for me , but if you don't have the tools $100 is cheap just bead blast the cast units and paint em.
Ozzy its a KZ1100 shaftie its got a bottom end and barrels in a rolling bike, no bodywork
it all looks prety rough but im sure inside the cases will be fine.
cool
So I picked up Betsy the parts bich today (not really many parts left.....) I'm pretty happy with what I scored but also a little confused
Here she is:

It's got whats left of an 1100 donk:

And someone has welded in some bracing and a lower engine mount that as far as I know the Z1000ST never had
So could this be a GPZ motor? Coz they have the second lower front engine mount
I'll look at the frame and engine numbers tomorrow I'm sure they will shed some light.

They have also done the bracing down the back bone, bounes!!!

And I got my cast engine mounts!!!!!
Mate if yr looking to piss off some of that 1st dibs
Mate of corse!
I'm gonna hold onto the frame and probablly the bottom end of the engine till I feel my gearbox running.
But the rest I was gonna part out and try make some money back ( mates rates for boys on ASF)
I have someone keen on the front wheel but that's about it so far.
You still got the spare set of wire wheels mate ? Still chasing a mig ? Shoot me a PM.
pm sent
Ozzy what bits r u chasing mate?
The only thing would have been what's left of the motor
the shaft drive bit?
i ment whats left as is, if yr keeping the bottom end there isnt much else worth having :-)
oh whats left... once mine is up and running ill let that go
too mate. i did wonder what u could possiably want off it.
motor parts always good lol
wait and see if I build a drouin super charger reproduction for one of these motors....... :-) cause 1503 cc just isnt enough lol
haha not even close!
I HAVE MY CAST MOUNTS

I turned my attention to the engine out of Betsy today, with the head being off for so long my hopes weren't too high.
Threw some petrol in and soaked for a while as they were pretty well stuck:

The crank does not look too bad:

And the gears too:

Not much to report, gasket set arrived so I gave all my tools and toolbox a good clean and re-organize Ready for re assembly.
You know u have a problem when u realize you have 3 x 1/2 inch, 2 x 3/8 and 3 x 1/4 inch drive socket sets and 4 draws of ratchet spanners and spanners!

And got the best bits of Betsy the parts bitch packed away for later.
