All,

I have a few projects going. One project has to do with the forks.

Here's what I have:
'05 KLR650 forks
80's Spector forks
'75 Z1 Forks

The goal is the KLR length, width and diameter, with the Z1 or Spector front wheel. I think the Z1 and the KLR are the same tube diameter. My cheazy measuring tools make me think they are... Do any of you know if the Z1 lowers will fit on the KLR tubes? That would be too easy.

Thanks for the help,

I am not driving too fast, I'm flying too low.

The brakes on the KLR really stink.

I suppose I could weld a Z1-KZ caliper holder on the KLR forks. I was hoping not to weld on the KLR lowers, though.
