Hi
I'm getting some bit of my bike powered coated.
On a 1973 Z1, what bits are satin black?
The headlamp bowl, front wheel hub, top yoke? any others.
Thanks

Is the headlamp bowl not the same as the clock covers, gloss black?

Davy,
The headlamp bowl was satin when removed.
I am not sure if that is correct

Davy,
You are right about the glossier finish on the early headlamp shells....two of my early Z1s have them as well. I wouldn't say it was an out and out gloss finish...but a lot shinier than satin. The headlamp on my Z1B though does have a satin finish.
