I think that tube sticking up on the left side of the tank is for in-flight refueling. :laugh: Ed

The art work is from the cover of Meat Loafs "Bat out of hell" album, a real nice job actually.
Don't know what tank it is though :blush:

There was, at one time, an aftermarket fuel tank supplied by Kawasaki, made specifically for the Z1R. It was considerably larger than the standard Z1R fuel tank. The logic behind the larger fuel tank was that it was designed for European riding (e.g. Autobahn). Perhaps this is one of those fuel tanks?
