Re: z650 Rear Shocks

They might have been sold to you as Z650 but they are way longer than stock 650. Originals are 330mm eye center to eye center.
Yours look to be around 380mm

Re: Euro sticker

Wasn't on any of the bikes I bought new in the 70's and hasn't been on any of the UK bikes I've restored over 40 odd years.

Re: Euro sticker

No, euro bikes didn't have the US style headstock sticker and only had the frame number stamped.

I would either use rear shock absorber rubbers or cut a bit of thick walled suitable fuel pipe. Shock rubbers are available on ebay, fuel pipe is available, well, everywhere.

Re: Z1000 A2 - seat stopper thingie

Re: Z1000 A2 - seat stopper thingie

Those fit 650's. My thou A1 doesn't have one. Both my 650's have them.
Doesn't show it on the 1000 diagram.
