ZX7R if you want a remote resevoir or ZZR1100/1200, ZRX1100/1200 if you want something with an integral resevoir.

Will happily make you a template, once I am in receipt. May take me a bit longer to set up as bike is up a debben performance - having a full engine rebuild. Casings have been stripped and polished, hopefully will get it back before end of january.

Bike as it was 4 weeks ago.

Has a APE cam chain idler adapter to allow Z1000J cylinder head to be fitted to earlier bottom end. Head is a Z1000J head with a pair of Kent cams. Block is bored out to 1075 with a Wiseco 1075 big bore kit.

Engine has had a full strip down, new welded crank and bearings being fitted as we speak.

Do a P&M style lifter, less weight, better action and feel.
