As above picked this up a couple of days ago, the frame is kz1000 ltd, anyone know what the tank is thanks Swirl

need a picture that shows the underside(pinch weld in particular) to positively identify it between kz or z1.

Whether it's Z1 or KZ1000, more desirable than an LTD tank to many people.

Definitely not a Z1 tank, it has the wrong latch for petrol cap. Its a kz900 or kz1000 depending on the petcock mount. If it has the 22mm threaded type bung you have a good tank. If it has the bolt on petcock you will need a vacuum operated petcock or get a pingel adapter if using non vacuum carbs

this is a Z1 tank front latch mount

If you want to sell the gulliara seat please let me know, been looking for one of those

My Z1 or KZ 900 tanks don't look like that.

You have a KZ tank as well.

Z1 tank has a latch, no key



KZ tank has key

One came off a KZ the other is a Z1b tank.

Seems I have a mystery on my hands. I had a latch years ago and went to a key type. After looking at the Z1 tanks both of mine don't have the cutouts on the bottom. Greg, I stand corrected. I had the Z1 tank on the bike in the wreck and a wrecked KZ 900 for parts. Question is where did I get two late model tanks? THAT's gonna bug me.

I couldn't tell from the blurry pictures, but greg nails it like usual.

The bolt on petcock style tanks I usually use some 1/4" thick aluminum and a 3/8 npt tap to make my own adapter, but there actually are some $30 or so manual petcocks that fit those tanks. I can't vouch for their quality (it's sitting on my parts shelf in my shed, behind my H2) but it's an option

Hi GregZ the seat is for sale, I have someone interested but he hasn't made a firm offer yet, where are you located.

I'll grab some more pics of the tank when I go my lockup
