Looks like a 16 inch rear wheel off an LTD you have on the back,

Z-Power should have Z1000 badges.

Sweet looking Zed there Spence, rear caliper & torque arm don't look to be 1000A2.

Here's a link for your badges, I had a pair for me toast rack project & must say the quality is good. :wink:

Is that front mudguard fibreglass :?: If so may need a brace as the standard + shorty ones have a double skin across top between mounting points :!:
