Re: Z1a Restoration
Looking good ..... be a while before I am at that stage and I am very envious of your rear guard ... just got one myself but its not as nice
Is it correct that the UK light mounting bracket is different to the US one ?

Re: Z1a Restoration
Thanks Chris,
As far as i am aware there is no difference in the mounting brackets ?
Certainly the mountilng holes are exactly the same.

Re: Z1a Restoration
The mounting brackets are different, the UK (long fender) is longer and has a different angle to match the fender.
US (short guard ) part no. 23036-017
Euro (Long guard) part no. 23036-033
They look completely wrong if fitted on the wrong fender.

Re: Z1a Restoration
I was comparing them yesterday .....the euro one seems to be more bulbous at the top as well as a different angle
