The only thing i would like to change is the twin cats eye lights for a z1/z900 tailight....anyone got one for sale? I would also like to change the rearsets for a decent set....anyone know where to get better rearsets than tarrozzi ones fitted?

hi steve rees....the motor is stock, 0.5mm oversize pistons is the only change....i've only put 23 miles on the clock. It had it's first MOT last friday. It pissed down as soon as i took it out of the garage and stopped as soon as i put it back in. :bawl :bawl

Having seen it in the flesh (the bike that is) I know how good it is, the attention to detail is superb top ho Scott :up

PS. I have a rear light you can have, how do you intend mounting it?

Hi Steve.....i'll take you up on the offer of the tailight, i'll call you soon...i'm not sure how to mount it yet, but i'm open to suggestions....i don't want to put the mudgaurd back on though, so i suppose i'll have to make a bracket out of stainless or something.

Thank you for showing me what I should do with my 78 Z1000A2 when its her turn for serious attention.
Unfortunately the Moto Martin is taking up the workshop at the moment...
Great looking bike, Very well done.
