Back in the Zone and Out of Storage

Post by clone5 »

Hi all
Long time (old) Zephyr Zone user and contributor, an I believe Moderator back in the day
My C1 has been in storage for many years but it is time to get her back on the road
I am the second owner and bought this in 1994.
I hope now is she wears historic plates and is taken out on regular dates and fed only the good stuff
Josh

Clone,

I remember you from back in the days when we were 'young...er'. Seen a couple of your posts in other forum, so I knew you were still alive.

I still have Zephyr I own with original engine running well, but am curious, ....so I'll ask a very personal question.

Would you mind elaborating how you were about installing a ZR-7 engine in the Zeph??

I remember you too Hugo

Engine is a direct swap - same engine but newer. All mounts the same.
The only thing I needed to change was the pickup connecter wires. I cut off the ZR7 one and used my Zephyr's
The engine in the picture above is a ZR7 with about 11,000kms
Comes with factory primary chain tensioners to eliminate the "bag of spanners" engine noise on idle that the 750 is characteristic of

I have a guy up north and investigating getting some new cases CNC'd out of billet with an 80's design and incorporating the classic Zephyr logo
