Bikes looking good there Anuar keep us posted on its progress.

I'm sure other members with Z1000's using a similar set up as yours - Tarozzi rearsets / bigger swingarm will have had a similar problem with the master cylnder rod. You could always post in 'Bike help' for possible solutions.

Rear wheel is GSXR1100M The rear sprocket carrier was machined down 7.5 mm to bring it in line. Its close between frame and tyre but it has 'even' clearance on both and the chain run is straight. Right thats me for now, probably look at the exhaust hanger next (need to cut it about and have it rewel...

Slowly coming together tho' DSC01412.jpg DSC01411.jpg Having sat on it with the rearsets where they are, im happy to measure up for the rear...
