Early Z1 Forks Required

ZedEd · #1 PostAuthor: **ZedEd** » Sat Dec 24, 2011 1:17 pm

I'm looking for very early model forks for my Z1

I'm located in Kent and have a very good set of slightly later forks to swap/PX etc.

They must be early forks and not Z1A etc.

I am away for a few weeks early next year so drop me an email or a pm and I / someone will get back to you

Ooh the last set I saw purchased on eBay was Gez for one of his friends rebuild, what did you pay Gez - Â£800 for a pair of lowers?

Ouch!!

Thanks malc87

The bikes a keeper so I'm in no rush and I may have found a set but the search for 72 parts will continue I think

Ok, I see the difference in the photos, but which is which? Then I will know what type I have, ( they came off a 1973 frame, but that doesnt mean they are the original forks)

Top one is the early fork, I know Al Marshall had some a while ago and I promised ..........................

Hi,

The first picture in the list here are the early forks.

The later type were smoothed out around the reflector housing ( as per pic 2 )

We have a pair of the early ones, please let us know if you are interested.
