Topic: NobleHops restores a 1975 Z1

I really admire the Hondas of the 70s but in truth, it's the Kawasakis of the 70s that give me wood :-).

+1!    I like to think the Hondas are like the nice girl next door. Kawasaki is the bad girl down the block that you want to party with all night!

The Z is looking great, Nils, awesome job.   I also put the Domemi  pipes [and bodywork] on mine, great fit and finish.

Thanks a ton Steve. Hope to get a solid day of de-gremlin-ing done this week and button it up, then it's time to go for a ride! :-)

 Great job and write up. Your pictures are very good quality also. I wish I could get fired up and do restorations but I mostly just get them back to good running survivor status.  When do you want me to drop off my Z1B for a facelift ?

Do it Eric!  But go with Super Red, ok?  Two many Super Blues around here....

 Mine was blue originally I have noticed. Well worth investing some money into these. Yours is a great looker also Steve !

Eric, I'd be delighted. That bike is in great condition. Put me on the top of the list should you ever part ways with it please :-). And thanks for the good words.

Steve, your bike looks fantastic. I can't wait to ride this one.

Thanks guys.  These are truly great bikes and def worth putting money into them.

And what a blast to ride!

 Yes, a CB750 is a little bit of a let down after riding one around. OOOPS better not say that around here    One of my good buddies has owned this 1974 Zed for way over 30 years now and keeps it stored at my place. Has a big bore kit and other goodies in it and runs very well. He has not rode it in 2 years,has a blown shoulder and into Hot Rods now, may have to take it out and 'loosen it up for him
