Finally completed. Only thing left off is mirrors and/or bar ends; undecided. I think it does resemble something from the 1970s well. More to follow.

Modern day 'Z' stripe! Looks great Mike. Is she comfortable to ride? Lou |

You would catch that Lou. Yes, it is a tribute to the Spagiarri bevel racer, with reference to the early Z-tank 750 Sport. That is why the black side covers (and eventually rocker covers). And, this particular curved stripe meant I did not have to match up, perfectly, a horizontal stripe at the bottom of the tank to one meeting the bottom of the tail section! This is the first day of no rain for over a week. So, no road test yet. But, yes, I have found the rider's position to be very nice. I got 18.5+ inches from top of the pegs to top of the seat - compared to 14.5 for an F1 and a TT! I have had time to improve the carburation, and all systems seem to be a go. We will see. MikeV |

Looks good Mike. I do like where you located the front turn signals. Discrete and less wiring in and around the steering head. You never did mention what engine is powering this beauty. Flattop |

Thanks flattop. I guess i forgot about the engine because my bigger concern on this one was what it should look like, and how the parts should fit. And the new-for-me full wiring. The engine is not a "performance" one; i just want it to run well: Only 583cc (80x58mm); NOS vintage 36mm carbs; manifolds mated to intakes opened up to about 30mm; very small valve (now 36 and 31mm) F3 400 heads; F1 cams only because i had them; new set of modern 80mm dished pistons and cylinders; stock crank, rods, and gears; modern straight-cut primary gears for the wet clutch; modern oil pump; light 600 flywheel; and Kokusan ignition. It does have a perfect 149 PSI compression on a warm engine. And seems ready to go. Oh, and the exhaust is a "baby" Verlicchi - for a 500. Was supposedly for racing. Just like the big and loud ones for the F1 but smaller collector and muffler entry and exit. Not unpleasant in this case. MikeV |

Very pretty Mike! Looks like it will be a blast to ride. The yellow paint looks like it’s hooked to the battery! |
