I'm thinking I want one for my KZ1100, however searching has given up mixed results.
Never heard it called a bellypan till I found a UK site.
Links or will this be a total fabrication?
thanks

In most cases, if you are operating the bike on a race track. You are required to have a belly pan large enough to hold all the oil that could be in your crankcase. This is done to prevent a blown motor causing a huge oil slick, thus endangering every other rider on the track at that time.
AHRMA is American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association
WERA used to be the Western-Eastern Roadracing Association. Now the just go by WERA.

Anyway, both are motorcycle racing sanctioning bodies.

BTW the really cool green bike on that link belongs to one of our members Dutchz. He works at Airtech if I'm not mistaken.
