What a nifty idea - shall try that next time myself and also pass that onto the guy in UK - so simple why didn't I think of that - because I am old and feeble minded perhaps...LOL!!!

Thanks for that mate!!!

Love it when you just shut your ears to conventional wisdom and are totally single minded about what you want to do - excellent!

No scrounging free gear shafts or asking for legacies on your will, but if you happen to find an original z1000R seat in your hand luggage then sell it to me £££ !

G'day 'tyrell corp' ( do you have a name I can use, mate??)

As far as the seat, have you tried japan webike - have a lot of stuff there, and I have spent some $$$$ getting stuff there, well worth the look. It is in english ( a bit japanese english sometimes, but still very understandable ) and have some great stuff - I have bought 2 S1 type exhausts, racing baffles and Kerker name plates and if you spend enough, free shipping!!! And they are FAST post, very good site to deal with.
Have a look - try this page first and then go looking yourself...

Any update on this?

I had a buyer just call me out of the blue.

G'day mate

This was my last correspondence with Nova back on 18th October 2014. Have heard nothing since. I suppose I should get back to him to see if he has had any reaction to him putting it on his Facebook page.
I hope someone reads his Facebook - if there are plenty of people out there like me who thinks Facebook is a load of rubbish and wouldn't be bothered with it, it probably went no where with that and I cannot see the KZ mentioned on his list of models on his website either....

Hi Wayne

We will put the project on our website and our facebook page to see if there is any reaction.

Kind Regards

So I am thinking that it has gone no where, 'mtbspeedfreak'

Pity - 'cause I am still interested - I would buy at least 2 if I can find other mad bastards like me to take the total to 5 so Mick would make them.

G'day Steve.

Miracles never cease - I thought my 6 speed idea was only going to stay a figment of my imagination!!!!
Well, if he is serious, I would like to talk to him, mate. If he isn't a member of this forum, he can write to me at my email address of:

and we can have a chat about getting something done - maybe he can drum up some support through his Facebook page....LOL!!!

Cheers mate

I want one for my 1100 (shaft-drive). I'll volunteer my ride as a field-tester, only after the bugs have all been worked out and the system is guaranteed to work perfectly, of course...and I can keep it (free-of-charge) when done.

Wrote to Nova for an update.

This is what I just got back tonight....

Hi Wayne
Sorry but we are way behind with putting new projects on our website. We are hoping to catch up in the summer but we are pre occupied with the current workload.
We do believe there is a market out there but at the moment we are busy with our current projects.

Sanctuary in Japan make a 6 speed gearbox for a Z1 900 / 1000

I know a GPZ 1100 gear box can be fitted to a Z1900 / 1000

I wonder if the reverse could be done
Fitting a Sanctuary 6 speed made for a Z1 into a GPZ / J model cases

Small engines need 6 speed (600cc)
Big engines (BossHoss) can have just 2.
I had Vulcan 1500, it had 4 speed, that was enough!

I'm always looking for a 6th gear even with my tall gearing.
