Mounting a rear cowl or Tailpiece to a 1982 KZ1000

Has anyone tried and\or had any success trying to mount any style of rear tailpiece or cowl to an 1982 LTD? I really like the look of my old Z1 900 and the older KZs with the duckbill style cowl but the "J" style is ok too.

You would have to weld mounts.

In this clip you can see the mounts welded to the frame.

Thanks. I remember the mounting bracket similar to that on my old Z1. I was just wondering if anyone had done it. I'm going to give it a shot and if successful, I'll make a video on it to share.

You may have to change the tail light.

was wondering the same thing, myself. definitely keep us posted, please!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI did this on my CSR project, Using one of these;



It was way too narrow to fit over the frame rails but being fibreglass, I was able to cut it up and remodel it. I built it into a complete one piece tail unit/seat pan, did away with all the original hinges and lugs on the frame.No welding involved (Though I did shorten the subframe as I was going for a mono seat anyway)
I did a step by step in my build thread,though Ive no idea where. Somewhere in the first half, Id reckon.

EXCELLENT WORK! Exactly what I want to do.

Post some measurements and I'll do the same to see if a off the shelf one will work.

My suggestion

A HONDA RC37/SC57 rear light fits near perfect into the rear tail piece




On my project bike, the smoky rear light

Looks good.
