Headlight Brackets

#1 PostAuthor: BigZCas » Fri Jun 30, 2017 12:48 pm

Here we go again :??
Should a late 1974 Z1a have seams on the outside of the headlight brackets per Z1b or plain as per the 1972 Z1 :?:
Can anyone shed any light please
Thanks :lol:

hi Cas, same as z1 i think.dave Marsden's book shows new part numbers for 74 z1a 44033-071 lhs and 44034-071 rhs. then for 75 z1b 44033-072 lhs and 44034-072 rhs...i think the z1b type remained the same to z1000a2 at least and have a spot welded seam Vs smooth before that. I'm sure someone will know for certain though.

The parts manuals definitely point to this, I was just wondering if Kawasaki started to fit the later seamed ones to late model Z1A before they came out with the Z1B?
