Silver Star for sale.

Silver Star for sale. 25000 miles, MOT to 20/5/2023

I never intended adding another MZ to join my 500R and Skorpion but it was a means to an end. I’ve unloaded a Norton Commando to a classic bike dealer in exchange for the Silver Star plus cash. The Star is 1994 but lived in The Craven Collection in East Yorkshire until 2008 when it was DVLA registered on an age related plate . Its had three keepers before me and I got it in November 2021. Since having it I’ve tidied it up, no major surgery required. New bits include alloy rims and stainless spokes, Tachometer, Clutch plates and springs, oil and filter change. The bike has been used not abused, ridden not hidden and hence has some age related marks or “patina” as its known. Tyres are good and it has OEM luggage racks. It rides very nicely. Two keys and historical paperwork are included.

£2750 ono.

Photos available, bike is in North Staffordshire. Ring me for more info or to discuss. 07970825821, Neil, MZRC club member.

Heated Grips on a 500R or ETZ

6 Replies

Hello folks, has anybody fitted heated grips to a 500R or ETZ? (Same twist grip) if so how did you get over the problem of the twist grip inner steel sleeve being 28mm OD which is bigger than most other bikes on the planet and of course means the stiff heated grip with a 26mm ID can’t be slid into the twist grip sleeve. I could of course get a universal fit twist grip but they all take a barrel style cable end nipple whereas the MZ cable has a small ball type nipple, I could then either buy a different cable or butcher my own but I can’t help thinking there must be an easier way. Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards,

Neil
