Z1 900 Street fighter front end was created by BMAC-Z1900
Hey guys. I am doing a street fighter swap onto my 74 Z1 900. I was just wondering if anyone knew the best fitting late model streetbike front end for these bikes. I know people have done many different front ends with different bikes, but what is the best with the least amount of fabrication/modification?

-Thanks

Less fabrication = more $$$ I did it the easiest way possible, but I spent more than almost anyone here on my front end swap. So the real question you need to start out with is; are you thrifty, or are you extravagant? B)

Any front end will work just make sure you get everything and the length is what you want then just have a new stem machined to fit the new lower triple tree with the kz specs then figure how to use the new front end upper tree center bolt on the kz stem

Thanks for the input guys. I just wanted to know because I didn't want to get myself into a hole before I started with something that needed a lot of work
