I figured I might as well post some pictures of the Z1-R. What we started with. Stripping it down. Bare frame before.... and after powder coating. Reassembly begins. I had the rims soda blasted. And a set of Metzelers mounted on them.

I had a good look at your Z1r when I was there. What a great bike and you're doing a real good resto Ned.
What was the reason you blasted the rims? Was the original finish bad?

I guess I should have drained the oil before I pulled it out of the frame. And yes, it is coming apart.

Don't you own a workmate table Ned? I do, but I didn't want to scratch the wood or get oil on it.
