Hi
that is the one on the log book I will check on the engine tomorrow night and hopefully post some pics as well as the is an engine oil breather on the top of the cam covers that I do not recognise. Cam ends are slightly square but not like a Z1000j though but not rond like correct Z1A

square cam cover would be a z1000 mk2 or z1r d2 if it has hoses going to the cover its an imported bike & they are not breathers they are for the emisions

Yep Phil at ZPower has confirmed it for me its a Z1000Ltd from USA with the breather pipes coming off the cam covers.
Great chaps 5 star A1 knowledge as always.
will load up some pics this weekend on the build so far anyway so you can all have a look
