Outlaw, I don't think you will find a suitable hole on the Z1000 ST triple-tree bottom. The last model to get that hole, drilled in a boss, was the Z1B.
The Z900, Z1000's did not have provision for these dampers. However, they can be drilled 8 mm clearance and a suitable shaped washer /bolt be made to lock the damper in. I say suitable shape, because there is a web underneath the position for the damper hole.
Although, TailiftChris says they have a threaded hole, he is not quite right. The Z1 series have a hole drilled in a boss. Some very early models also have that threaded hole, he mentioned. I believe this was from the earlier H2 LHS damper. I have never had a full answer as to "Why the LHS threaded hole?" Some say it was for a blinker cancelling mechanism.

PS. You will see many of the brackets on the RHS engine frame of the Z1 series, broken off. This was often caused by the damper seizing and braking the bracket and sometimes damaging the head fins.
