Seat strap is easy to fix if you have the right seat pan......simply screws on. If not you have to drill a couple of holes and use the nut and bolt that comes with the seat straps. BTW....don't buy a PMC strap! they're crap. I bought one of these and instead of the nice rivet to hold the strap to th...

Forgive me if I'm wrong. :oops: Memory ain't what it used to be..........The two aren't interchangeable. Z1000 is around 10mm taller than the Z900 element. Now I think....the Z1000 has a fully recessed tab on top the Z900's is only partly recessed

John,
There was a bloke way down here in Oz who I think did this colour.
From memory I'm sure he got hold of a NOS tail and matched from there.
Could probably put you in touch if your keen.

Kawasaki still sell the bracket at least. Though the one I got here in Aus. cost AUD $35.00 and was as rough as guts. Lots of scoring at the bends, (Looked like it was bent in a vice) and rice paper thick plating. But I guess that's how it goes with the "Genuine" parts now. :roll:
