      As for the SS bolt kit. I bought one for my 850 and got way more than I needed. Couldn't believe the price. If I had to buy them all separately they would have cost me 50x more. Z1 also ships abroad and on the lading bill they list it as old motorcycle parts. I have never had to pay duties or taxes on anything I ordered from them up here in Canada. Seems they have international shipping down to a fine art. Either that or the customs agent is a biker.

              She sounds good Simon! Glad to see you could at least take her for a quick spin... but no seat and no footpegs... ouch!

              As for the battery, I just went with a Motobatt, same size as stock so no help there I'm afraid...

                      Growler there are 2 mount holes on your triple tree, originally for the big boofy speedo cluster.
                      I used the left one to put a bolt through for my mini speedo thus:

                        nice and clean, love it.

                        i am looking into a brat seat, but the kick up being a greater angle. or moving that rear cowl forward, chopping 6-8 inches off. something that will be comfortable on longer rides and give me a little back support. let us know if that seat is comfortable enough for you.

                              Seat looks good Simon! Must be more comfy than sitting on frame rails...
