Z650 Restomod Build Thread
Discussion
I surprised myself this week, as I managed to push the MK2 up hill and down dale over two miles to my mates workshop where we will will fit its newly rebuilt engine. Doubt I could push it home with the extra weight of the engine, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. The flat bits are ok, but any incline is hard work.
A half hour job took all afternoon, but the engine is in the frame at last, barrels and head can be fitted with the engine in the frame.
Still need to mod a couple of engine brackets. One of the rear ones, which also holds up the battery box had been drilled to 12mm in its old life, so need to get that welded up and re-drilled to 10mm. While the two lower engine bolts are a little too short now I'm using billet mounting brackets. Now I now how short, new longer bolts have been ordered.
