Z900 forks

#1 PostAuthor: Dero » Mon May 13, 2019 11:02 am

Hi, does anyone know of a pair of forks for sale to fit a 1976 Z900?
I want to refurb a set then just swop mine over.and keep mine as spares.

Be careful, this is misleading as it is the way the parts fiches are labelled. only theZ900A4 or A5 and the Z1000A1 from 1977 has the same forks, the A2, A3 A4 from 1978 and 1979 are not the same as they have calipers behind the leg.

That is what the list above says, if you read it carefully, but it would be easy to think the A2 etc also do, but it's the way the fiches are accessed.
Cheers,

Mark.

I’ve got one for some reason - it’s a LH stamped K220L inside the leg, it’s missing the axle cup. I can put up pics if it might be any use. It’s probably off a Z1000A1. Been sitting for years but would refurb.

I've got a pair in the garage pm me if you don't get sorted. They have the oil drain screw on the opposite side to the caliper mounts.
