Whether it's Z1 or KZ1000, more desirable than an LTD tank to many people.

Definitely not a Z1 tank, it has the wrong latch for petrol cap. Its a kz900 or kz1000 depending on the petcock mount. If it has the 22mm threaded type bung you have a good tank. If it has the bolt on petcock you will need a vacuum operated petcock or get a pingel adapter if using non vacuum carbs

this is a Z1 tank front latch mount

My Z1 or KZ 900 tanks don't look like that.

You have a KZ tank as well.

Z1 tank has a latch, no key



KZ tank has key

Seems I have a mystery on my hands. I had a latch years ago and went to a key type. After looking at the Z1 tanks both of mine don't have the cutouts on the bottom. Greg, I stand corrected. I had the Z1 tank on the bike in the wreck and a wrecked KZ 900 for parts. Question is where did I get two late model tanks? THAT's gonna bug me. :angry:

I couldn't tell from the blurry pictures, but greg nails it like usual.

The bolt on petcock style tanks I usually use some 1/4" thick aluminum and a 3/8 npt tap to make my own adapter, but there actually are some $30 or so manual petcocks that fit those tanks. I can't vouch for their quality (it's sitting on my parts shelf in my shed, behind my H2) but it's an option

Hi GregZ the seat is for sale, I have someone interested but he hasn't made a firm offer yet, where are you located.

I'll grab some more pics of the tank when I go my lockup
