Chris if you need a backup for Z1 I can bring my Sept 72. Restored by Greg Walker with original parts 20 years ago. Don't need the £50 as i am fairly local. I took it as a private entry last year.
Cheers, Don

Hi all does anyone know if the A4 fork cylinders are a straight swap into Z1/Z1A forks? They look very similar in the parts fiche and I know the tubes are the same.

Thanks, Don

Thanks for all the help guys. I've settled on an original selling price of £1286 for my article as that seems to match the info I've received from various sources and also seems to ring a bell in my memory. How times have changed, From £1286 in 1975 for the top-of-the-range Kwacker (Z1-B) to £22,13...

Definitely- thanks Zeddie

Sometimes the big 4 manufacturers use modern replacements (like for tubing) which dont look the same as ...

That’s funny I bought an H2C in summer - it had black powder coated rear bands on it - I just ordered some OEM ones from Cradley Kawasaki pretty reasonable actually. Lovely bike, I enjoyed the photos on the website. They must have run low on metal flake after putting that much on the early bikes! Af...

The other day I did stumble across the video of your Z1 being ridden with the 900RS that Motorcyclist (?) magazine did a few years ago..

My Z1 made the trip safely from Minnesota to N Wales thanks to Shippio, Alien Transport and lots of ACF50. Just got my L Reg plate and looking forward to the VJMC meets at the Bhurtpore Inn in Cheshire when we are allowed. CE96A667-C0A7-4485-AD86-CA3EF4FD8E77.jpeg C19E9E3E-24BB-4487-9A83-5F7C6F4BEC1...

You should have bought my Z1B i offered you for £10,500 a couple of years ago!
