Does the tailpiece of the Z1 have more clearance to the oval tail light compared to the Z900 tailpiece/light ? Have fitted a US spec Z1 rear guard complete with light bracket and light but the rear lense is touching the tailpiece do I need the Z900 rear light bracket, a Z1 tail piece or just use a spacer on the rear guard ?

The lens is normally quite close to the tail. If you'd got the wrong lamp bracket on it'd be miles out. Assuming it's like you say, just touching, I'd do a bit of filing or spacing as necessary.

Steve, I'm pretty sure the rear light brackets for the short and long guards are different, as they have a different curvature for the respective guards.
