Ok Question time...... - this is the first of what will probably be many!

Thanks guys, only 30 S1's made then! wow what are they worth?

Iain, that is what I am after, a totally different look for the bike, Mmmm I feel a plan coming on.

[uk kev]

Here is some ELR info I dug up from Kwak in Japan (I told you I was stubbon)

As a model, Z1000R-1 of 82 sales year(900 unit productions)
R-2 of /83 year sales (5300 unit productions)
Z1100R of /84 year sales (1300 unit productions) 3 models

So there you have it, an 82 Z1000R would be the one to get or an 84 1100R

Kev this is the J based bike Jacks on about,the American modles had a rounded tank for the first Js

what I need to look out for now then is a set of piggyback shocks :)

Ohlins are the best but also the most expensive apart from the original Showa and Kayaba 1000R and 1100R which are how much expensive!!!!!!
I'm surprised that more 1100R's weren't made as they were in production for 3 years.
It would be interesting to see how many 1000R2's and 1100R1's K.M.U.K. brought into the U.K.??
Surely they most have sold green 1100's than white 1000's!!

Right Kev what about these

[Rich]

A bit too long.

[Iain marshall]

Rich he might be a BIG chap,at one stage when i was putting the Foale together i thought about doing something like this with the spare fairing and seat i've got on the GPZ but the riding postions Ideal for me as it is

[Rich]

Just looks too long, take 3" off the seat unit.

Iain thanks for those, do any of you recognise the clocks used in the first picture

[Rich]

No.

[Iain marshall]

Standard Z1000J1/J2 and Z1000(K)LTD clocks as fitted to 1981/1982 models.The Z1000J3 has a combined speedo and tacho console.
