I am tearing apart the forks on an 82 KZ1100 and am trying to get out the allen bolt. I've read the threads on using a 17 or 19 mm bolt head to hold the internals on kz650 forks.

Does anyone know the size bolt head I need for the KZ1100 forks?

if you have access to good aircompressor and an air rachet you should be able to spin the bolts out without holding the damper assembly.;) goodluck,happy wrenching!

I'd have to put it back together though .. and thus would need a tool to hold the insides together.

I had a thought and tried the 17mm and 19mm bolt-heads which supposedly works for the kz650s and they didn't "catch". I wonder if the kz1100 has thicker forks and therefore maybe a 21 or 23 mm bolt head would work .. hmm .. maybe time for another trip to the hardware this afternoon ;-)

This is my contribution to the world of KZRider:

22mm bolts will stop the fork guts from turning.
