Made a start on putting it back together, the wiring was a bit messy so I removed the black sticky tape and fitted braid finished with self-amalgamating tape. I spent a lot of time routing the wiring harness to make it look neat, I'm happy with the end result!

I did a bit more work on it today (Covid-19 lock-down is not all bad). I fitted the throttle cables and exhaust pipe, note the heat guards held in place with lock-wire to check placement. The guards are stainless steel and were cut by water-jet, I will bend a curve on the top and bottom and weld nuts on the pipes to fix them in place. Next job sort the rear fender.

Yes I got quite a bit done this last week!
Where abouts are you Oldblighty? I will be having a clear-out soon, when I have finished this loads of good Z400 bits!

Just about finished now, took it for a little test ride yesterday all seems good!
The ride was a bit harsh but I'm used to riding a modern Triumph!

Now that some of the lock-down restrictions has been relaxed here in the UK, I have paid the road tax and insurance, so she is now road legal.
I've just been on a 15 mile shake down test ride and I'm very pleased with how it rides. Took it down a two mile dirt track ending in a steep climb and the engine pulled like a train!

Been for another ride on the "Srambled Zed", I love this bike! I put the old mirrors on it to make road riding a bit safer but not keen on how they look, would bar end ones look better?
