Just coz I think it looks best the way I got it, in standard orientation.
Luckily I gave the rear fender to Jack

Had a couple of hours to tackle the 1 x knackered cam cap thread Used an Austrailian RECOIL 6 x 1mm kit.
I used a bit of alloy angle to hold the l/hand side of the cam down whilst I removed #1 cam cap.....
Got the 4 x screws out and heres the offending stripped thread...
It looks a bit like a helicoil, but it's NOT. Luckily I could just access the damaged thread and drill it our with a 6.3mm (1/4") bit. The kit came with the correct tap and that also was just accessible....
Used loads of grease and paper towel around the area to catch any swarf during the whole operation..... all done and sorted
Next is to borrow a 27mm socket from work to remove the front sprox so I can fit the new one and the new chain.

Bit more Zed time in the garage. Tried an old V&H for size; it was a bit scruffy but gave it a rub down and a coat of VHT matt black and it looks okay. Next was the rear tyre - a loverly period TT100 (K81). It's the correct size for the rim but looks really puny
Revisit to the CAM COVER...... here is the definitive answer to:
REPLACING A MKII SQUARE CAM COVER WITH A NICE ROUND COVER
It does fit but you have to change the cam chain idler sprocket for an earlier one as the MKII wheel fouls the round cam cover...
..... if you look closely you can see I'm holding the MKII idler in the left of shot
The MKII engine is now transformed to a gorgeous looking motor.
Got a Z900 "teardrop" sprox cover off GB (thanx lad) and that went on okay and actually paid for some more cooler take-offs from him as the ones I had were 10mm barbed spigots but I needed 12mm to match the cooler Thats all done now so getting nearer to completion by the week
