If it’s been taken abroad and nothing registered (only assuming as no documents) it might be really simple? Might just be like it has been off the road for 20 years. No one needs to know it has left the country if there’s nothing saying it has It's on the system as permanently exported, but no mention of it coming back. Ttfn Glenn |

Still cannot resist the temptation of a big kwacker  Zzr1100 needing brakes and a carb overhaul  Another zzr1100 needing brakes, ignition fault sorting and probably a carb clean Ttfn Glenn |

Keep getting tempted by the thought of sticking a turbo on one of my Kawasaki 1100s.
Need to get some more of them running first

I have picked up yet another project, it was uk registered, but taken abroad, about 20 years ago, no documents but does have number plate and vin number.
Will getting a v5 be a as simple as applying for it, or will this just be a huge can of worms
Ttfn Glenn

Nice to see a gixxer getting some love, usually they seem to get turned into streetfighters once there is some fairing damage

Also heat can be used to soften rubber trim

Remote electronic interference to play with the settings/operation of the sound system?
Possibly try some aromatherapy, some pretty unusual smells might encourage less activity.
CCTV to keep a record of any problems,
Study up on the techniques used by bullies, can be very helpful to understand your enemy.
Home made turbocharger jet engine, to completely drown out his sound system
don't let this get to you, don't get mad get even

Made another small step with the jetski bike project Picked up a butchered kawasaki 500 triple frame, to keep the theme on the right lines  Quick thrown together mock up, using the zzr1100 wheels and suspension, but looking at using the rolling gear from a gs550 to give a more period look  Yet again things have taken a sharp about face with cutting down the fleet. Another marketplace find  Now have a brace of zrx1100, although this one is sons  Needs a large dose of looking at but mostly complete and now running The twins  Ttfn Glenn |

A possible option for the cylinder head and cam, could be needle roller bearings, used to be pretty common in the honda 250 350 twin world

Trying to bling up the tank badges, decided to go the whole hog and use gold leaf  Clean and degrease, then apply the size ( glue )  Apply the leaf, then gently tap down with a soft brush  Carefully remove the excess, then paint black  Carefully wipe with a kitchen towel dipped in thinner, a few bits round the edge will need the black touching up and a part of the top badge will need re gilding as I got a bit heavy handed. Using fake leaf so it costs pennies, in case anyone thought I was being a bit spendy Ttfn Glenn |

I have officially run out of space, but still another big kwacker followed me home   It's a 1982 kz1100a, American import but no documents, current plan is to get it running, then break it for parts for my other zeds. At the moment, it spins over but has no sparks, so electrics will be getting investigated. Before starting, opened up the airbox  Something had decided to make itself a home  The air filter, that's meant to have a foam sock around it With some luck, this will be running over the weekend Ttfn Glenn |

 Son has rebuilt the front end of the gpz1100, a fork seal was leaking, the headstock bearings were dry, and 40 year old rubber hoses were replaced with braided lines Also finished covering the spare seat with alcantara, slightly wrinkled, hopefully will settle with use  Ttfn Glenn |

Have to admit I am biased Have you considered a kawasaki zrx Retro styling, modern running gear, and if you look after it, will not loose money  Alongside my 1982 z1000 Ttfn Glenn Ps not a clue on mpg as it's a play bike |

  The registration and some history of the silver gpz1100 This currently has its front end in pieces to replace fork seals, fit braided lines and overhaul calipers. Another accidental marketplace spot, means, I have another big kwacker  A 1982 z1000j that has been half turned into an 1100r replica. Current plans are, ride it, redirect the conversion to make it a z1000r eddie Lawson replica, needs a new rear tyre, as the one fitted is starting to crack. And because I am such a tart, here's some of the fleet   Ttfn Glenn Ps also picked up another jetski engine so that project made a minuscule step forward |

Why not connect the caliper back to the bike, bleed the brake, and pump it out with the lever

Not much has happened with bikes lately, been focusing on reorganizing the shed  Can't make an omlet without breaking some eggs, and at the moment, am up to my ears in batter. Son happened across yet another marketplace advert, so I ended up with yet another motorcycle    Used to have one many years ago, didn't intend on getting another, but this popped up 5 miles away. South African import, so almost zero rust, but some paint bleaching Ttfn Glenn |
