Thanks chaps for the kind words.
I am sure others are doing a better job than me, after all this is just a race bike.
I would like to do a museum bike with a full budget, now that is something to aspire to.

Now is the time to start working on the tank.
The 1973 CZ came out with a steel tank attached by fin plates and bolts. I wish to change the 73 tank with an aluminium 74 tank. The 74 tank was held in place via a leather starp. I love the polished alloy tank but I prefer the fin plates and bolts.

I first wrap some Ableflex around the chassis to prevent scratching the paint.

Gently slide the tank into position.
Make sure it is all the way down and sitting on the Ableflex.

Next fit the seat, foam and all so we can see how it all fits.
Now we can start working out how we are going to connect the tank.

While pushing slightly down on the tank to seat it into the Ableflex mark where a bracket is to be attached onto the tank to line up with the chassis bolt hole.

With a scrap piece of 20mm wide aluminium plate fix a strip of double sided tape.

Looks good I envy you, Just make sure you put the seat flaps on that hang off all the way around the edge like the orig. ones did. It look awsome.

Position the scrap alloy plate and then with a thin steel ruler push the tape onto the tank.
Now we have where the bracket needs to go.
Do the same to the other side.
I have orientated the plate so it is level with the chassis bottom plate.

Hi oldfart,
I don't know about Gi's wife or kitchen but the images of my bike have been taken in my workshop.
The sink in the background is for washing my hands and making gallons of tea.

Hi mainline,
I am trying to get her ready for CD6 but there is so much to do with so little time left.
I will bring Miss CZ with me at what ever stage she is at on the day of departure.
I have spent so much time on her I will not have another bike ready to ride, but that is okay because it will give me more time to meet all the Ozvmx members I digitally talk to every day.

I hope I have motivated some people to renovate their bikes. I also hope I have shown others that this stuff is not that hard to do, it just takes time.
