The gauges are carbon fiber ultra lite series from autometer. I bought them to use on the Z1R which I decided to hold off on till were moved and I have a new shop with more room to work in.

This pic is from the front showing the bowls and center cover for the led lights and key switch.

Finally, got my parts in yesterday but didn't know it till I got mail today. :laugh:
I have most of the top end done, head is on and cams degreed in. I still need to clearance the valve cover before I put it on. Just have it sitting on there.
I'll be riding by the weekend! :evil:

No, started to but didn't have material handy when I was thinking about it and they are fairly cheap thru Z1E. I had the blue APE's here but didn't like the blue with the rest of the bike.

Well it's together and fired, #3 cylinder missing, circuit plugged somewhere in the carb and 2 other floats sticking, carb cleaning time. Going to try the RS34's tomorrow but I'm done today.

That's the factory anodizing still on them, part of the reason I chose to go ahead and use them on this bike, I was saving them for a green bike that I was going to build after the turbo.
