Thanks, I'll put some more photos up in the near future.

Cam: when those photos were taken I had 2 cats - I now have 6, and 5 dogs... The Bim isn't in the lounge anymore, but my little Ducati 50 SL/1 (50cc, from 1966) is.

Yeah, the KB-1 was designed for the Z1 motor (903cc); the KB-2 was designed for the z550 motor; the KB-3 (mine) was originally designed for the z1000J motor - but mine's been fitted with the GPz1100 motor (external dimensions are identical with the z1000J, so it's easy).

Anyway, my bike almost didn't make it. I had to rev the bike to about 5000 and slip the clutch horrendously in ...
