Emgo Tubes

Has anyone ever used Emgo fork tubes #EM45-29640 on their 80 KZ1000 LTD B-4 without any issues, Let me know.

no, wasn't even aware they offer them. I would be hesitant to recommend them, tho only familiar with their air filters, oil filters and h/l clamps. I do however feel comfortable promoting Frank's Maint. and Enginering. whom I've used many times. G

Emgo does not make anything - nothing... they are a marketing company.

If you buy a new Triumph motorcycle or certain Honda models, the fork tubes are made by the same company that makes the Emgo fork tubes.

In fact, the Emgo fork tubes are BETTER than the Franks tubes. I was surprised when Emgo sent me a sample, I compared to a set of Franks tubes we had on the shelf and they were a little different in length - so I pulled a set of Z1 fork apart and compared all three. The Emgo version is the exact same length - the Frank's tubes are about 3mm too long.

Those Emgo tubes do not fit the 77-80 KZ1000's except for the 1977 A1 model. Kawasaki changed the top cap thread and the bottom insert damper external diameter.

Some of the items Emgo sells are extremely good - some are borderline.

Would you rather put EBC or Emgo brake pads on your bike? You might be surprised to know they come out of the same factory.

If you buy any house brand of part from Parts Unlimited, Custom Chrome and more, they use the same manufacturers for a great number of parts.

Some parts Emgo sells are very bad - their turn signals are very poor - but they are the same ones labeled under names like Bikers Choice, Trick and more.

Do we have a picture of these emgo tubes?
