Welcome to KZR Nolan!
As Steve said "Pics, need pics"
Pics of your bike, for sure and how about the places you ride through with it.

Howdy. Noticing your motorcycle key avatar, you should save the key code number & also have a couple of extra spare keys.
An Ilco KA14 X103 key blank is a good match & there are other key blanks that will work as well.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I can upload some photos right now. I did jot down the key code.
Any tips for adding pressure to the front pneumatic forks?

Use a small hand pump, or replace the old factory springs with new ones, and replace the old oil with fresh new oil, and forget the air.

I tried going the air route on my Z1 in the 80's. Anything over 7 LBS and the front end was like a rock. Also made the seals leak like a sieve. I went progressive springs this time around.

Don't overdo it with the air pressure. 10 - 12 psi should be enough. Ed
