Looks like a Santee frame? Here is another one I wish I still had? Wait! Did I just say that. maybe as a conversation piece.

Yes that would have been the one to keep for several reasons. I think my 73 z1 will be around for quite sometime

Not familiar with that model , however I was just starting junior high.

All for the price of $99. The paint job, after the bike was stolen from the base and dumped.

I'v posted this bike before but has to be my first Z1. Its was the bike that kept me from going crazy while stationed in San Diego in...

Also your starter, had to rebuild mine. With a new armature. Some people should not own bikes.

Check you drive splines, hope they dont look like mine did
