Really nice work, I like the "gas strut" to hold the seat up 

Yes! it does the job really well.
I have an MP4 video my son took of it working and the seat smoothly opening up but it won't load to this site.
Maybe if i can find a way to convert it to a different format i'll try again.

I like the hydraulic clutch setup.  What is it from and how is it mounted?

It's a Kawasaki ZXR750/ZX9R slave cylinder mounted on my own outrigger plate.
The master cylinder on the bars is a Nissin radial item from a  ZZR1400 .
 
 
 

A constantly sounding horn? Presumably not at full volume, that would get on your nerves. Regarding posting vids, use a dropbox account and post a link. That's how I got the manuals to Guy.

Not constantly sounding but just constant which means an air or electronic powered one that can maintain a constant tone when in use and not intemittent like a bulb horn.

There are drivers in our area that have constantly sounding horns when they're in traffic, but I don't think that's what Zed meant in this case.  

An extremely nicely detailed build!
Congrats!

Great looking bike!!!!! Love that charging system. Keep up the great work!!!

You got to kick up the tail section and put an oil cooler on it. Then it would be a true Klinzmann special!!!!
 
Klinzmann raced that bike as #31.

Thanks.
I never liked the look of coolers on the tail and the tail angle was a bit too steep for my taste so no cooler and i limited the tail lift to around midway between stock and the race bike which i think is near perfect for the lines of the bike whilst retaining a nod to the style..
As for the number.
Every man and his dog goes for #31 but i'm not a sheep and like to be different so decided to be less predictable use either 35 or 83 that has been used on the odd occasion.

And the generator is an 25 amp GPZ1100 Electrex race item that i've modified to work with the smaller Z900 small taper keyway crank .
It uses the same windings as the alt i used on the alloy cafe racer in this pic but is enclosed and allow the use of the starter motor.

 

This is a very cool piece of kit. how did you modify it to work with the smaller taper? nice work as always.

This is the inside of the enclosed version ( above a stock case ) which uses the same windings as the above open type.
 

On the left is the supplied rotor mount for the large taper non keyway MK2, J and GPZ cranks.
And on the right is my rotor adaptor for the earlier keyed crank which i made using a modified steel core with key slot from a spare z900 rotor i had.
 

And this is it installed along with the rotor and quite a few other mods it needed before it would fit.
 

The more you explain what and how you did what you have to the machine, the more interesting it becomes. I do not always wear a hat but I will put one on and tip it to you. Damn but that is one fine looking machine. 

Have to say when I read/looked at your first post on this machine I wondered if you had a time machine? As it looked just like the ones I had seen from the past. After further view I realized there were some differences. That in my way of thinking are improvements over the older machine.
