z1 air box to a KZ900

I have a 76 900LTD and want to go to a z1 airbox. Has anyone ever done this? I don't think there should be any problems but thought I'd check here first. I have cones on it now and am having trouble dialing it in. I have the original air box but the rubbers are hard and not much fun installing. Really like the z1 style box.

I did - heres a pic. maybe I should find some 73-75 side covers. but i dont know if they would fit right on or if I would need to make new attachment brackets

Thats great JT! I'm gonna go for it. Looks like you have a great ride there. Love the paint and detailing. Thanks for the info.

I use only Z1 airboxes on my 1976 KZ900 carb testing bikes. One has a drum rear brake and the other a disk rear brake which affects the ability to pull the battery out from the side. I have to pull the battery on the disk equipped bike out from the top. The Z1 airbox fits easily on either style.

The next problem would be finding a NICE useable Z1 air box $$$$$$
Good luck, Pat
