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

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)

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.
