It is a Z 650 tail but not up swept. Personally I think that it would fit right in with the Oldskool look and it's manufacturer specific too. Just my thoughts though. I also don't like that 'kin horrible sticky uppy Germanesque look PUKE.

maybe a ZRX1200 could be a good compramise???
still has that muscle bike seat.... and is a little bit more modern.

I'd go small, stumpy and square like a GS 750 tail piece to keep it in the era and still look tidy.

^^^ I concur.
i dont think the twin shock gpz unit wouldnt look to bad
that or a zephyr 550 unit or modern cb400 unit
Hmmmm I do like the GS tails....
But will it look too stumpy?
Dummy up a photo for yourself and see what you think.
The posty has just dropped in....... gave me a nice shiny 09 R1 shock and linkage:

What about using a 550 Zephyr which are a bit neater than the ZRX11/12 and not as bulky, they're very similar to the ZRX400 tailpiece, in fact the seats are identical it is just the plastics which are slightly different or if you want a rounded Z900 looking style the 750 Zephyr.
A single seat with the Z1000J/Z1100R tail piece works well, the spondon ally framed Zeds that have been done recently use the same seat rig, look at the satin black one that is in the Zed section gallery.
On the MadCow I have the Unatec 650 Zedbutt which works well with the Z1R small tank, Unatec also do a Z900 style Zedbutt and seat pad.
yeah i guess the tail will be a bit of trial and error....
i deff dont wand the z650 tail, im just not a fan, and something about the Zepher tail dossent sit
with me. i think its coz they sit so low, but in saying that i like the Z900 tail which also sits low....
i do like the idea of a nice chunky tail on this build, as all of my other builds have been modern sports bikes
with tiny pointy tails (RC8 and similar).
i have found the ZRX tail and seat going cheap so ill grab it, throw it on and see how it goes and if its not rite
im sure someone will want it.
ok i think i have found all my marbles again.... and will stick with the GPZ1100 B1-B2 bodywork!

What about using the standard tail but shortening it up like this GSX
Spot on mate. Those early twin shock B1 and B2 GP zeds were the epitome of big bore muscle bikes.The right choice sir.Not quite as muscley as early Zook GSX'es you understand but close enough :cool:
you might be onto something there whale it could loose a few inches!
and simon it may not be as tough as an old GSX but the wheels will make up for it in coolness.......:p:p:p
loose a few ?? we here want more inchs?? well thats wat the wifes want !!
Haha.... If only it were as simple as taking them off the bike and then slapping them where they r needed!
