Both mine had black crancases and barrells, has that been repainted/stripped or did they do more than one finish?
i,ve only ever seen black,but zaks is the custom model which i,ve never seen in the flesh so could be standard i guess.

folks were leaking, the fixing points for the seat were knakered white number plate on back and a very bad rattle when first started up it,s not engine pull the cutch in and it stops its only when its cold but was told about the rattle when we arived to pick it up and there was no mention of it in the ebay decription or i would of left it,was told by the seller the rattle was becuse the carbs were not balanced but what do i know, we payed £1020 but i had to borrow me mate £500 to get it so i still have a little intrest in the bike but it will be his trike when finished so will be geting a little help in puting this one togeather one or two other probs but will get it sorted sooner or later
