Swapping the fork legs over on Z1000A1 to put the calipers behind

#1 PostAuthor: TiBolts » Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:09 am

Hi all
I've often seen and heard about switching the forks over to put the calipers behind, like they were on the A2 and later. But what about the little lug on the lh fork leg that stops the speedo gearbox rotating? Does it need something added to the rh fork leg to stop that or is it not a problem, ie it just stays put anyways?
Cheers

It will stay put anyway, it's clamped with the inner races of the bearings and if they rotate you have bigger problems than the speedo drive turning.
Cheers,

Mark.
