Hi thinking of changing the tail unit of my Z1000 for an early replica Z1 unit

Think the holes are for rubber dampers for tool tray.
It will fit no problem.maybe need earlier tool tray/not sure.

tool trays are different - the earlier Z1 has a bigger taper on it so the later ones are too wide at the back (if that makes sense)
