Head painted in my highly sophisticated spray booth. Next it's off to my high tech oven for baking (another of the "don't tell the missus" moments).

02 Feb 2022 02:00Cool. I thought it was "...no MERE mortal can resist..."oh, and possibly the best bit of airbrushing ever on the side cover. Any Michael Jackson fans out there?
As a friend of kiwis and their lovely accent, I'll allow myself to suggest you be careful and not drop that Z1R on your "deck"

Re: Kiwi Z1R
13 Apr 2022 15:20I have the Metmachex swing arm on my Suzuki. It's a complete work of art. The local independent bike shop suggested that I just put it on display on the coffee table!Engine is back in the process of being rebuilt and another head is not too far from being fitted. I had the second head vapour blasted and gave it a good post vapour blast rinse in the dish washer. Don't tell my missus lol.
Also got the new (old) rear caliper refurbished. New pistons, seals, and paint. All fitted now and no leaky weird stuff going on. Bonus.
While the Z1R has been in bits I have spent too much time lurking on the internet and decided that I really needed a new swingarm. Next thing................who would know it but a deposit has been put on new Metmachex. Only bummer is having to wait for six to eight months.
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!
