I'm guessing your not married! That is some collection. Was 888 obsessed 25 yrs ago. Got a 906, went to Budapest & back in a week. 800 miles on day 1 - survived - bike was pretty comfortable at steady 80-90. Cannot imagine that on the 888, so was right decision I guess. Rode a friends MHR in France many years ago. Lovely but makes 888 seem like a sofa. He toured Europe 2 up for years on it back in the day. Ex sidecar racer....say no more. Like the sound of the updated z650 project - good luck with the paperwork😊
Yes the old Bevelhead 900SS and MHR make modern bikes feel like sofas. The updated Z650 is over 40 years old which makes the paperwork a lot easier to deal with... and no not married lol.
Ah I wondered if anyone would notice the 1170 was missed. Trying to get the engine oil tight has been so frustrating, I want to forget about it for the time being..
@@Merch131ho it’s my favourite of your bikes,along with the MK2. It’s never simple building custom bike like those, sometimes good to put it to one side for a while.
Very interesting video ! Thanks

A bit naughty but you could take photos of a friends z of a similar year with the close up pics of your frame and engine no
Why not take the battery apart and rebuild it. It will consist of an array of 18650 cells, just replace them.
The battery died awhile ago, I binned it, didn't know they could be opened up and repaired.
@@Merch131ho Actually, just make your own battery pack. There's tons of how to's on TH-cam on putting cells together. It's not at all complicated.
what about the 1170?
