i.e. Z650/ KZ650, Z900, Z1000 etc?

I've seen some on ebay and the seller says they are:

Front forks off a 1977 KZ 650 B1 model in good working order, good condition for age. I personally tested the bike for 200 miles before dismantling it for (good) parts . I believe these to be the same fitted to the Z900.

John Z900 and Z1000 are the same length but Z650 ones are shorter.

The z1000-A1 fork tubes (stanchions) are the same as the Z1 & z900. They are the ONLY 1000 model with those tubes.
73 Z1 (turbocharged), a 74 Z1A, and some h***a's and Suzuki's...
