I have heard about the fitting seen on tail light lens in 2nd photo but never seen one before :!:

It's a Kawasaki Z1b Chris, from about 1975. I hear they are quite popular with the old folks trying to recapture their youth.

Bike came from Italy .

That was my old bike. It came in from italy and I got it in 2001 with 3000kms on it! Fastest z1b I have ever had. It also came with the same grab rail as fitted to the z900's. People kept telling me it was the wrong grab rail but I knew that every nut and bolt on the bike was original(not any more!) and kept it on. I eventually found a french sales brochure showing a z1b with the z900 style grab rail on. The bike also had a "lights" sticker on the handle bar switch!Dont know why it does not show up at DVLA as I rode it for years.
