I think they are. me last A4 had the lugs on for the mudgaurd stays and most of the ones i looked at were the same. No stays on a A4 but they are on a 650, I think..... couple of other people have said the same,also the fork oil drain holes are not in the middle of the leg. dont hold me to it though but i am 90% sure they fit ok. Iv'e seen A4's with no fork stay lugs aswell. Better shut up now before i get confused :confu

Cheers chaps, have measured them up against me Z650, but wanted some unbiased opinions, so I'd best get bidding :??

Looks like the Z650-B1 is the same as the Z900 and the other models mentioned. The Z650-B2 is different. At least by P/N.

A guy in work broke a z650 for spares for his, will ask what he has left (when I see him), and get back to you.....

UPDATE......prob' no good this is his reply.................

I?ve a complete set of forks in need of some TLC. Off the top of my head
the stanchions need re-chroming and replacement fork seals, plus a damn good clean and polish of the lower legs. If you like I?ll take some snaps and e-mail them.......
Think he means F*@ked, is that the same as TLC ??..
