Baz, I refer to these ears (headlight brackets) as seamless and the later ones as having seams. I didn't know they were brazed, i thought cleverly welded or pressed.

I have seen the seamless ears extend into Z1A for the first couple of thousand, Say until Z1F-22000. Could be longer! This was quite common for Kawasaki to not clearly define it's move into change. This also happened with its rear hub and tacho light.

I think these overlaps were prevalent , particularly during the change from Z1F-20000 and 22000. It was just a matter of having a batch of parts manufactured and using the old before the new or mixing the batches!
