Damn fine bike for the money spent. Never saw a set of bowls with drain plugs and pumpers.
I'm working on a '78 Z1-R myself.

Someone once told me to marry that motorcycle I was riding ......there's times I wish I hadda listened .

I hope to be at the Paris CVMG meet this year. Always worth the trip and always interesting stuff to see.

flhwesty - do you sell stuff there.... at the Paris meet?

I have a cousin who frequents the Chatham area and he has mentioned a guy who sells Japanese parts and maybe the same guy has a shop where guys can work on their own bikes - is that you ?

The carbs are Mikuni 29mm smoothbores.

For whatever reason, the "mystery" holes were added to the "air hose" flanges.

Might be for refit....to identfy in-board out-board carb right / left side????

Looks like the left carbs are drilled on left sides and right carbs are drilled on right.

It cam as pictured. Rare that I buy a vintage bike and do not get boxes of spare parts.
