Front fork identification

#1 PostAuthor: MartinB » Wed Jun 01, 2016 1:13 pm

I have an additional pair of front forks that have come as part of a package, with a barn find bike. They are complete with top yoke and axle. I've been told they're from a Z1R. Are they any different from other models and is there any way of identifying them?

Any info would be welcome.

Code K207 is on Z1R and Z650 lowers
If they are Z1R there is no circlip securing the fork bush in.
If Z650 they have a circlip but the stanctions are shorter.

Thanks for the info.
Just checked, no circlip, so must be Z1R forks.
They've been fitted with new seals and in good nick.
If I don't find a use for them, I'll perhaps put them in the For Sale section.
