Welcome from the continent - the photo is great, wished I had such a pic from myself.

Will you restore it the original A3 or even to the GG1300 ?

regards from Switzerland

Given how rare then Godier Genouds are, I shall certainly keep most of the GG features and to be honest it would be very difficult to take it back to be twin shock, but first and foremost it is a bike I ride, so I have exchanged the Brembo Gold Line Calipers for Harrison Billet six pots which were first made in '85 so are reasonably period. I have kept the Brembo discs. I''me in two minds about the fork extensions as they do make it hard to ride - I'm not a short arse, but it is VERY tall!

If you take your bike to the Classic TT and ride round the mountain course you will get photographed and get the opportunity to purchase a pic :) For the me then Isle of Man is the true bikers Mecca. Lots of bikers from Europe do make the trip and I have often seen bikes with Swiss plates. You do need to book your accommodation and ferries well in advance though :) When I'm riding the TT course it's as though I've died and gone to heaven :)

Hi Ralph, I recognise that pic from the Z1OC site :lol: - where I too am a Zed Head.
Hope your rolling resto goes well: must say I find it harder to get parts for my Z13 than my Z900A4.
Cheers Tim
