Hi men

the Z1000A1 didn't have the seat retainer, it had the same seat hinges as the Z900A4.
The Z1000A2 did have the seat retainer and had different seat hinges.
The picture above says it all, good luck with the installation!

When you start, make sure you take a lot of pictures because there are a lot of parts to change. You also need a lot of different screwdrivers to make sure you can get all the jets out! There's...

Hello men an update of the restoration. The past week I took the engine apart...bad news! When honing the second cylinder bore it turned out there was a major damage all around the bore.

Hi men as I've mentioned before, way back in the past, the rear mudguards of an ST and a MK2 look the same but they aren't. They're very hard to find because a lot of them were cut in the past. Have a look in the topic " differences between ST and MK2" Good luck with the search for a long ...
