Hi Everyone
I have just ticked another item off my bucket list by buying a 1978 CBX1000Z last week. As you may be able to see from the avatar, it's an odd colour and generally a bit scabby.
The good news it that is has not been molested (apart from by the bloke with the spray gun) so should be an enjoyable restoration project for me.
This is the 35th bike I have owned since I got my first at the age of 12, so I have got a bit of experience with the things. I will be asking for lots of help I'm sure and I look forward helping out others where I can.
Cheers
Glen.

Hi Glen:
Any question that you post here will get the answers you are looking for, and we will be looking forward to them. Several painters are available here in USA, but I am sure you will be able to find some people in the UK that will bring your Z into the colors that you wish. Send us some pictures of your bike and let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you in this project. Welcome aboard.
