Bacon's book has a late model Z1B on the front cover and this is fitted with the later grab rail with mounting for the indicators. I recall this gave more space for throw-over saddle bags!

petrol tank looks like it's a later a4 type?. nice bike

Nice bike but a kerker 4-1 would be good?

That RAU is a cool looking machine.

Valve clearances tight perhaps?

Mr Marshall

Rickman Z1 CRR?

Sounds good Iain, but as advised I'm off to Assen that weekend

Deffo the next one.

Love that Irving Vincent race bike! Did they ever decide to make a road version?

I was there on Tuesday but was a wee bit disappointed this concept 1290 wasn't on the KTM stand: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zx9UCSLm_8A/UKN3BQEUSiI/AAAAAAAApbA/Yfk1olizEpU/s1600/ktm-superduke-1290-R-official-photo-gallery-hydro-carbons.blogapot.com-01.jpg Hadn't been to the NEC Show for several years...

Happy to bring this bike down if you need it for a race theme.

Vulcan displayed at RAF Leuchers yesterday. Always impressive......

Instead of spending all that money on internal damping upgrades why dont you first try fitting flatter bars as this will offer more immediate weight/control over the front end at a fraction of the cost?

.....then make sure your ignition timing is spot on? Anybody ever used this stuff?
