Hi could someone tell me if any of the 1973 Z1 900s had tank badges about 186mm long with hole centres about 146mm. If not what is the thread used on the badge screws?. Also did that year have a steering damper?. Many thanks Gerald

Steering damper was offered as an optional extra... the earlier triples had them; is there a bracket on the r/hand side lower headstock?
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Bracket for the damper is on the frame and the other end fixes to the bottom steering yoke via an M8 clearance hole.
