EX Conversion Guys - do you know if the bracket we use to mount the EX front caliper on a triple will work on an early Z1? I am trying to improve the braking on my '72 Z1 without adding another disk and all that extra weight.
Thanks,
Kevin

Caliper mounts on early are the same as H2 so shouldn't be a problem.

I thought the Z1 was the same as the KH 500, which are different than the earlier? :wtf: Am I losing it?

The later Z is like the KH500.

Fellow I just got an H1 from said he bought it for the 73 H1 front end, to use on an early Z rebirth.
Same wheels according to him, I am pretty sure they were.
Makes sense they used the same caliper and disc right?

As Dale correctly pointed out, the Z1/H2/H1d (onwards) are all the same, the Z900 is the same as KH500.
