Dennis has a shop. Even though he does not specialize in GS, might be worth stopping by.

Great pics, Always loved the view of a Z1 from the rear right quarter, so sexy. Actually that's my favorite view for most bikes
I note the two Z1s have what look like oil catch fairings and the other two don't.
I could go for a summer of using a mobile home to tow a sport bike around the country looking for great roads, not nessecarily race tracks. Bucket list vacation.
Interesting note about the fairings down below. Guess I thought they were skid plates or something. Those guys were towering over me and had a few more pounds to haul, LOL.
One of the most fun to watch was this triple. The front wheel kept coming up, but man it was quick!

Did have some little rides in recent days. No pictures (I know , hard to believe.)
And a ride this morning for an erraand and out to coffee. Man, 72 and a bit humid, seems hot after all these cloudy 50s and 60s days.
then pushed the bikes out of garage to do some sweeping, and rearrange so the RT is now in the sickbay.
Hum, looked like they were posing for a picture
The other day I overheard the Suzuki and Honda talking (yah, they speak English, were made for US market, you know).
they weere saying:
who is this new guy? Why is he here?
i don’t know, but he sounds like is speaking German when Dave was cursing at him.
yah, it seems like that him and Dave have known each other for some time.
you know, all those times Dave got gear out of sidebags and then was gone for a week or two then came back and was showing people lot of pictures, I kinda thought he was having something with some other bike.
what is it with this new bike, you see it’s got its own battery tender with the same round logo as in the bike. What does this bike think it is? We have to share one regular battery tender.
did you see that service bill Dave stuffed into that big thick manaul? It says annual fluid change was 750bucks and new tires was almost 600 bucks. Man, we don’t get anything near that.
yah, but did you see how Dave was muttering and grumbling about it.
what is that puddle by its rear wheel? You smell gear oil?Last edited by Redman; 06-19-2019, 03:35 PM.

got my wind screen in from Gustafsson , fitment was so-so, the right hand opening was about 5/16 bigger than the left, so it kinda threw it off just a little,
if it wasn't for those original stripes, I would repaint the boxes, but i'm not in the mood to reproduce them, nor do i want to loose them. I am going to repaint the front fender,i think i can use some stripe tape and put the pin stripe back on ,

ToDady, I didn't realize it was a 650 till I made the pic bigger. How does it do with the extra weight from the fairing and bags?
My 850 has a similar setup It does fine, even two up, just fewer miles per gallon.Roger
