Re: V55/5 Type approval??
From my understanding you do not fill that part in, bike is over 10 years old and not a newly produced vehicle type.

Re: Z1 carburettor ID
Exhaust not Harris, yours is stainless and looks like an exhaust craft muffler, Harris are mild steel chromed.

Re: Fuel hose.
If you are not worried by non original looks, go for tygon, it's clear yellow but you have to have wire spring around it as it has a tendency to kink, I use it on mine.
Re: Coils
Been running a set for 9 years, not had any problems.

Re: Zephyr 750/1100 wire wheels
So many of these bikes scrapped due to bean can petrol tanks, it's a shame, I loved my 750, best of the bunch.
Re: Fuel hose
I use tygon hose, but you have to use fine wire springs around it so it follows a curve as it kinks too easily.

Re: Z1000 A1 Head Gasket
Nothing wrong with Versah head gaskets, I have never used sealant on the o ring either and have not had any leaks ever.

I will save them just in case a rivet counter wants my bike in future.

Re: Alloy balls in carb bowl.
After lots of looking my conclusion is they have been in there since fettling in the original foundry, conditioned cut wire shot.
