Anyone got a set of the correct early front forks for 72 Z1 ?
These were mounted on the early frame numbers.
I know they are rare but always worth a try :-)
Appreciate if anyone can help.

The mounting lugs were "more substantial" on the later slides.
There were many breaking off in service in the day, thus why Big K were rapid at implementing the bulkier modified ones.
