Minor setback

Hope you're ok. Looks like you didn't have the bike secured well enough or a strap broke?

Later, Doug

Close, I went to loosen a strap a little and it let loose. Prey bonehead move on my part.

makes ya wanna

i had it happen to my 80 z1r.

what parts are you gonna need?

leon

That does suck......what I want to know is how you righted it from that position, couldn't have been too easy

Looks like just gauges and assembly. I have a set that came with a Mark II motor I picked up. May just go a different direction. Sure could have been worse. Imagine if the body work was on it?

I lowered the lift to the ground and then drug it off and righted it. Was not to bad but my back did hurt a bit the next day

well damn!
keep us posted,

Well, I have been getting my butt whopped on this painting thing. The tank I originally planned on using did not fit right. The petcock bung was further back and hit the top of the carbs. Ended using my Z1 tank, there goes that extra set. Got some gauges that came with a MKII motor I just picked up.So after many sessions of priming painting and sanding I have a paint job I am satisfied with. . Now to get everything together and get a seat pad made.

Almost there! Need a seat and a few things to sort out.
