The z1000 has seperate barrells so we can put a thicker base gasket in them.

Most modern bikes however have the barrels as part of the upper crankcase so it can't be done that way on them.

I do have a soft spot for elsies.

My second bike was a 350 with RGV running gear and a tuned lump. To me it was the fastest thing in the world at 17
