Lester Mags are cranking out on ebay was created by z1kzonly
Lester Mags, Early Z1 / H2 with 6 bolt front discs.
2 sets have sold for over $1000! on eBay in the last month. Set just sold an hour ago with the clevland Kaw Boyz logo added to tires.

I have a KZ 4 bolt disc front, along with the 18" drum rear.
My question is? I am restoring, polishing edges. And re-painting the black with satin black paint.
Me being myself, I could not resist cleaning the spoke ribs off to bare aluminum also and shining them up.
Will this turn off the Purists? Because I did not leave them black?
I did not paint the yet, But will soon. As My set will be destined for eBay also.
Just checking for some one's knowledge about Lesters that I don't have?

I'll ad a picture or 2 later.
Thanks for any opinions.

An old Ad, Whatever? Would think they would have been polished new on the ribs?
And for whatever?? There is no stamp into a spoke about DOT or size? On either mag?
