Before you wax, ask your friend the painter about clear coating. I’ve often thought that would be the best way to protect such a perfect, original finish. After that, wax away!

Clear coat what? I'm lost

Congrats and welcome to the Z Club!

Now throw that seat in the bin!

That seat is really ugly! But wait 20 years and they might cost a fortune when people want them again

A fresh stock seat on that bike look relly good with everything else in good condition. Z1-900 is probably the most beatiful bike of the 70's. 80's..... Shape of tank, side covers and the fastback is perfect. Stock type graphics too.
They cost a lot here, $10.000-20.000 US, the latter in perfect stock look. I need 2 of those, one stock, the other with hot engine and 4-1 (the hotter one can be a z1000-77 with the 1015 engine)

Wow, that Z looks good. Time to sling that seat on ebay!

To clear coat it would require sanding the red first. You may not want to chance that. The polishing you did made it look much better. Use a good quality carnuba wax on it and that will protect it nicely.

The bike has yet to be polished, the Z1 that is.

I'm stuck on the shift drum mechanism of the K0. If anyone is willing to help, please watch the video and share their insight.

Lol, i have the HondaMan book! It's not covered in it. The pin aspect that is

It's been fixed. Technically I had it together correctly the entire time. The issue is to shift smoothing the front sprocket technically needs to be spinning.

Well the bike was nearing completion. I had the exhaust to install and found a hole in the lower rail. #$%* sucks but I'm having it repaired properly. Here are a few pics of the holes and the repair process. I'm determined to get this finished one day.

I also picked up a 69 diecast. I was able to unstick the engine within 1 hr of soaking it.

You should change your forum name from Tews to Nickpent. Pretty soon you're going to have to start buying extra properties to store your bike just like him.

Update on the frame. One section is cleaned up. And here is another of the 69 with the busted up side cover.

I'm still trying to figure out why this reminded me of a horror scene. Anyways, the frame is complete.

Looks good Tews. Your PC guy has a big oven! [My guys's oven is just slightly larger than a frame]

I was under the impression that all of the kos came with the early swingarm with the tube mount at the rear for the chain gaurd ,am I wrong?bill

Tews19 · « **Reply #121 on:** October 23, 2019, 03:16:14 PM »

Not sure Bill, I do know the early K0s did but mine is 30xxx. Motor is mounted today. Hoping to have it all ready by Sunday. At least that's the goal.
