Early 72 Z1 front forks.

#1 PostAuthor: nilmoz1 » Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:56 pm

Anyone got a set of the correct early front forks for 72 Z1 ?
These were mounted on the early frame numbers.
I know they are rare but always worth a try :-)

Appreciate if anyone can help.

The mounting lugs were "more substantial" on the later slides.

There were many breaking off in service in the day, thus why Big K were rapid at implementing the bulkier modified ones.
