Does anyone have a reasonably good original Euro headlight bezel for sale? Doesn’t matter if it needs rechroming.

How do you tell the difference between Z1 and later Z900 ?

I think the difference is us to uk/ Euro, the uk one tapers out so the lens sits in it completely different to the us Z1 headlight

tricky one really, but as far as i remember the earlier uk lamp had the outer rim/bezel with 2 countersunk screws (4pm+8pm looking from the front) and an inner rim to adjust the beam height(north to south) via a 3rd countersunk screw, set at 6pm(viewed from the front) all 3 screwed into the shell.(only the 3rd one @6pm contacting the inner rim) the us version had a sealed beam lamp that didnt even allow you to change a bulb if it blew!! you had to replace the whole gubbins!! z900 i think was a single rim and a simplified version of kawasakis previous attempts to complicate simple shit..
