1974 Z1 900 rear master cylinder mount

I am putting on triple disc mag wheels on my z1 900, what thickness metal should i use for the rear master cylinder mount? I am going to bolt it off the right rear motor mount, and the master cylinder is off of an 03 suzuki gsxr 600 with the remote resovour. Thanks, jim.

i think the one on my 74 was made from like 20 ga or something like that cant remember for sure.ive still got the chrome battery box for ya just never have time to sit down long enough to box it up and ship!:S

lol, its ok plummen when ever you have enough time. @0 ga seems like it wiould hold up well enough, thanks.

The mount I made for my 900 is something like 3/32" mild steel with a couple nuts on the back to bolt the M/C to.

Very nice setup Doug. That's what I want to do but for some reason I can't bring myself to weld or alter my frame, however I've been considering it more and more.

I had welded a stock mount cut off another bike in the stock location that is quite a bit higher than shown because I used a stock-type master cylinder. It takes one of those rods to poke the center of the plunger upwards when the brake pedal is pushed. I later mounted a Ninja 250 master cylinder which looks much like StreetfighterKZ posted and had to fab a bar to attach to the master cylinder and brake pedal... the one he did is in a much better position anyway, because on the Z1, you won't be able to pull the battery out the side with the master cylinder mounted where it would be on say a 77 or 78 with rear disk brake. You have to pull the battery out from the top which means cutting your battery box a bit.

on all the z1s ive ever had battery pulled out through the top,76 kz900 was on bike i ever had that side loaded behind sidecover.

I guess I was thinking about the KZ900... they all sort of fog when you have heards of them.
