Description

A rare bike indeed Here
this is an Early 1972 Built 1973 Z1 900 With thecorresponding original Engine # within the matching range .
Z1F-00828Z1E-00872
a low low number for an early Z1
it has most of the original parts still it has the early style unreinforced fork lowers, arly unbraced carb it has the head with thesynchronization ports cast into the head ( the intake manifolds have been replaced so it has them on there also.) incase you were wondering.
Front rim has the early numbers and so does the roto, he swingarm and the brake stay all have the early numbers on them. swingarm has been chromed.
unfortunately the original owner thought it would be a great idea to rake the neck and extend the fork legs and get rid of the stock seat and gauges. the frame is the main issue and I have tried to get good pictures of it, t would not be too much for an experienced Frame man to put it back to stock, t was simply cut on the undersid, ent out and two gussets welded on, ne on each side. the frame number is still intact. and none on the tubes were shortened or lengthened.
anyhow it is a cool bike, nd if you like a raked neck, t does not ride badly! and gets some pretty good looks out there on the road, ut its true calling is to be a restored low number Z1 900.
it has an aftermarket ignition and the start key is mounted down where the seat lock key hole should be.
no no oil reservoir. no tool kit.
this was probably built in the first week of production of the early Z1 900's
I will not ship this bike. but you are welcome to have your own shipper pick it up.
