Sorry if this is a bit banal but what are the logistic requirements of converting the back end on this to look like a Ltd ? or its it even viable ?

was thinking more along the lines of fitting the rear tail Paul

J engine ltd didn't have a tail only a grab rail over mudguard .

So are we saying it wont take one then ?

You can make anything fit, just depends on how handy you are with a grinder and welder

Anything is possible ! You would have to decide which tail you wanted , J style or round Z style . From this you would work out which seat . Then the work would start fitting mountings for tail and seat . If it was me I would be trying to make as much of the fittings bolt on as possible . Easy to put back when selling .

Another thought . Fit a round 650 tail which is shorter and mount directly to seat base . This would only involve a mod' to the seat , get an old seat and play .

ive seen i done and it looks like neither one or the other to be honest Keith, it sits too low.

thanks for the input guys, thats a good point Mick .



Think I will just try and live with it,and if I can't just fire it off

these days its nice to see the none ducktail zed, becoming rarer.

I've a Z1000 mudguard and tail light here if you want to offer it up to it mate , no tailpiece though .
Call me if you want to try it up to it .

The ltd k I had in bits had a tail unit that had been widened to fit the csr/ltd models. Skid11 bought it, he may be able to shed more light on this. I don't know if the seat from the ltd with a tail would fit straight on.

once again guys thanks for the input/offers I'm considering my options

Piggys chopped about an LTD, he might still have some bits, if you want some pictures let me know.
