Slim chance I know. I don't have any photo's of my old Zed, an ex drag racer from back in the late 1980s/1990s.
It was a V reg' Z1000ST in candy red and black. No chrome at all except for the fork tubes and about the last six inches of exhaust pipe. Candy red tank , panels, etc. and a Z1 seat and tail piece; twin headlight fairing.
Everything else, engine, wheels, bars, controls... all gloss black.
Twas run regularly at Santa Pod and Shakey and, the reason someone may remember it, was magazine featured and appeared on a give away poster from Fast Bikes, Streetfighters or similar (but cant find out which). In the poster, a head on shot, you could barely make out the bike - just the twin headlights in the GPZ fairing shining through the smoke from a burnout.
I've a collection of old Streetfighters mag's but it's not in any of them, I didn't buy any bike mag's at the time so wasn't really that interested...

Doubtful anyone will recall, just trying to find a pic' to show the other half without buying every old bike mag' on Ebay. It did rather stand out back then, especially being based on a shafty...
Thanks.
