Z1 Kickstart Cover

Today 19:38

#920923

Starting to work on my '73 Z1 900 engine and have found that the cover for the kickstart shaft is broken around one screw mount.
Looking at those on Ebay, it appears that they are common to all Z1's and some 1000's, so can someone verify this please ?

They are essentially the same from 73 to at least 80 but if you're a stickler for correctness the Z1 was black and had Made in Japan & an "S-1" casting on the inside and the boss inside. Later ones had a different casting system.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar.
