There's not enough time in the day but things are moving along. A friend who doesn't even know what a Z1 is gave it his best shot at the four part paint process , white, black , mid coat with flake and candy orange top coat. I think he did a pretty good paint job

Done for now. By for one of the best running Z1's I have ridden. Engine doesn't make a sound, shifts idles perfect. This bike kicked my ass, I don't want to look at for awhile. I'll put a few more miles on it and put it the corner and cover it up. I'll make a decision whether to install laced wheels and 4-4 exhaust later. I'm done cheers
