750 zephyr ones fit in bearings are the same (41). 1200 bandit or FZR1000 forks (43) are the ones I prefer because of the length, but you need to get a bearing stem made or pressed in (my mate can make them if you get stuck) becareful not to get forks too short 29" is about as short as you can get away with, using a harris pipe etc. Most Kawasaki ones tend to be too short, but other members might know otherwise.

Kawasaki ER6 forks are 41mm as well, RWU too & uses a 17mm axle just incase this info is usefull to anyone. You'll probably need to press out its stem & use the original one though along with a bushing to adapt the 2.

I'm going to be putting that front end onto a Z650 after i finish the current project.
