Nice bike. I was concerned about joining a Z1 owners club with a very none standard J2, but it turned out there are a lot of heavily modified bikes here, and very nice they are too. Makes me think I should of paid more attention to mine when I was restoring it to a rideable condition. Trouble is I'm...

Hi and welcome, Only £20 for first year, £12 for renewal, Bargain for so much info at you finger tips.

Possibly cracked rubbers between carbs and head. Is the throttle snapping shut all the way.

Last time I looked on gov.check m.o.t and tax it said tax due 1993 and it was blue.

When I did the deal for my J2(which I am still riding)on 31st jan 1982 they also had a brand new Z900 that they had built from new part. I can't remember exactly how much they were asking for it but it was considerably more than the brand new J that I had just purchased.

Just been in the attic for the Christmas decorations and found a old photo of my A2. It's probably the bike I most regret getting rid of (traded it in for £700 when I purchased my newJ2 from Knott Mill Kawasaki) At the same time Kawasaki where offering £200 off bikes over 750cc and Knott mill also k...

Welcome to the club, great place to find new and period parts for most old Z's. We all love to see pictures at any stage of a project.

Nice job. I have known a couple of Bandit owners and they were all trouble free bikes. Nice bike.

Nice weather today in the northwest so took advantage for probably the last outing of 2025 on the J. I usually use the GSXR1100G or KTM 525 in the winter. Called at J+S for a brew and bacon sandwich. Surprised how many bikes were out.

Looks good already. Nice paint work. Can't wait to see the finished job.

Hi and welcome, doesn't matter how far you can go, just having a z in the garage is great, mine makes me smile just tinkering with it,
We all need to Enjoy them whilst we can

Thanks to you both. I couldn't find that box all day and just noticed the 2 small blue arrows and pressed one and it just appeared. Many thanks.

This year's show was the first I'v missed for a few years. I should have delayed the family holiday for a day but but thought it my have been detrimental to my health. I joined the club at the show and have always payed my subs there, I have tried searching the site but can't find how to pay them. H...

Some stunning bikes there. Looks like a must go to event.
Great post.

That's a very nice mk11, colour is great but I particularly like the beefy looking back end with the swing arm and brake hanger plate.
