Thanks to all for there comments, always room for improvement, especially the seat cover ! I like the tail piece change, it flows a lot better in my mind.

Re: Project Z 1000 St x 3 ?
AH Ha ha ha ha hah haaa haaa! I am back! Just posting this here to finish the story and will start again in my Vendetta and his shaft addiction thread.
Never should have sold my rebuild but divorce necessitated , however, when I did sell , I asked the buyer to give me 1st refusal if he ever sold as I put my heart and soul into that rebuild and , I got a call saying he was selling up. No money but a credit card transfer came to the rescue, ( let's hope I can pay that off soonest) and I picked her up at the weekend.
New owner had done some changes, new paint, carb refresh, seat cover and a bikini fairing that I am not sure I like, also losing the original clocks for a combined speedo /rev counter thing ( not sure I like this either).
Has some issues, new battery required, has only done 200 miles since i sold her and she has been sitting for a while so needs a brake fluid flush and maybe rebuild, will see. The choke lever is stuck, seems one or more of the choke plungers on the carb may be stuck, will need to remove the carbs to investigate this, any ideas anyone?
Anyway , here are some pics of her, 1st pic is as she has 9 years ago, next two are from yesterday , different from when I sold her but still the same beautiful bike underneath.
