Alright heres my problem. I have a 1981 kz1000 m1,the front forks are hosed and I would like to swap them out for a set of kz1000 police forks. Is this possible? Yes, the forks are off a 1981 model police bike. Thank you for any input or information.

By hosed do you mean that they are bent or loosing their plating?

The only problem I can think of is that the 1000P's used 18 inch front wheels. Don't know if you'll have a problem installing your 21 incher?
