That's a gorgeous looking Zed morten. I really like the rear half, it just seems to flow nicely, not sure why maybe it's the angle of the shocks, maybe the exhaust. Whatever, it looks just right to me.

The swingarm is from a 01 XJR1300
I think that is the last they did with 20 mm bolt. Rather easy to modify and I think its very good looking on the Z. It,s a Nice profile on it and a great chain adjuster that stand power. :D

Yes they are Viktor. I use the stop lamp in the tacho as shift indicator with a 20W lamp in i. It works and is very practical!! :D

Thanks. :)

Thinking of buying them for the Mk.II project since I wont use the original speedo in the front wheel. They look really sweet. How do they wire up to the bike? Just to the ignition?
