Sorry but we are way behind with putting new projects on our website. We are hoping to catch up in the summer but we are pre occupied with the current workload.
We do believe there is a market out there but at the moment we are busy with our current projects.

Sanctuary in Japan make a 6 speed gearbox for a Z1 900 / 1000

I know a GPZ 1100 gear box can be fitted to a Z1900 / 1000

I wonder if the reverse could be done

Small engines need 6 speed (600cc)
Big engines (BossHoss) can have just 2.
I had Vulcan 1500, it had 4 speed, that was enough!

very old post, back in 2016 l looked at purchasing a Sanctuary 6 speed for my Z1000 A1 Moriwaki look-a-like build but was unable to make contact with Sanctuary or Webike who were selling at the time so give up, it was pricey from memory AUD$5,500, did anyone here purchase and fit one to their Zed 900/1000? very interested in results as building a look-a-like of the French Endurance racers from the 70,s/80,s.

my look-a-like, pleasure to ride.

Its strange how they don't even tell you what the final gearing is or if they changed the ratio's.

On the positive side it does seem that it is "undercut" to prevent missed shifts, not sure if it is just on the up shifts or also on the downshifts (the later used in road racing)

A bit cheaper than the last time you checked but not by much.
