Looking pretty good. I own a 75’ Z1b that was neglected by the prior owner. He left outside up against a fence for who knows how many years. Slowly in the first year I kinda touched just about ever part of the bike and cleaned, rubbed, polished things back to good condition. Fact is only a few nuts and bolts I have not been able to clean up to my liking. I’d like to take the whole bike apart and do it completely over again making it fully restored to near OEM.
It sounds like we could be working on the same bike. This bike I'm working on was in a leaky shed where water was dripping on the seat. The seat pan was rusted through. When I'm done, my hands will have touched every nut and bolt on this motorcycle. I'm not complaining because I wanted a basket case project, and that's just what I got. Good luck with your project.
