If you can give us a clue what you are looking for then maybe someone can help !
Those rearsets AL has posted look pretty much what you get with aftermarket stuff.
It'll be good to see what you finally come up with.

Re: kz1000 build
A word to the wise maybe but take care when you first fit your Metmachex swinging arm, especially if it the less common shallow braced style - the rear frame / footrest / exhaust hangers on the type of frame you have can produce clearance problems. Nothing which can't be sorted out but all too easy ...

Re: kz1000 build
It'll be good to see an old school 70's style Zed !
So many get "restored" these days.
I for one don't remember ANYBODY riding about on a STANDARD Zed back then. It was part of what owning a big Zed was all about !
Good luck with the build !
Dave

Re: z1/z9 fuel tanks....differences
Hello Baldrick Questions for you ! Are you putting a tank on a Z1 frame or something else ? Is the frame standard ? I never had a problem swapping tanks Z1/Z900/Z1000 (early). Maybe an odd adjustment to a seat hinge or repositioning the rubber shock absorbers on the frame tubes. Any tank any frame. ...

Re: Electronic tacho
Hello Mick, unless someone can offer a better idea then I'm going to say you could make one yourself ! Its a long time ago and I'm short on detail but I put together an electronic tacho for one of my old Zeds myself. You need to find a donor electronic tacho and carefully strip out the dial face / n...

Re: De glaze
For De - Glazing CYLINDER BORES I used a tool called Flex Hone. I've never heard of a "liquid" to do this job (but that means nothing !) It sounds like a good option. HOWEVER, I'd be inclined to check with Millers before you use it with a roller bearing crank in a Zed. Also, its only 20w. ...

Re: Z1100/1170 head gasket issues
Hi Steve, in your O.P. you wrote: "Given that reliability is more of a priority than performance I am considering reassembling with 2 base gaskets to raise the deck height by 0.5mm and therefore reduce compression." This is probably not a bad idea - its been done before ! Looking at pictur...
