Ian, got 2 LTD's (B2's) at the moment, according to the Z-Power parts book the front calipers are the same on the A1's and B1's. The A2's and B2's have a different part number but I'm pretty sure the fork legs can be swapped around to suit.

I know Ian, had an ebay moment,I was going to modify the first the one but it was stock apart from the K&N's seemed a shame to spoil it and the second one came at the right price with A2 body kit, Harris etc.

STs had forward mounted axle, Mk2s "normal" forks and Ian will be making up mounting plates if he wants to use those calipers.


rich has your measure right enough Piglet your a bluffer or should that be an old duffer :lol: :lol:
way too many Zeds
