Fork swap

Ive searched through the forums but couldn't find the specific information I was looking for, I have a 1983 kz750 ltd f1 (shaft). I'm looking to get rid of the original air forks for a standard fork; anyone know of a set that will swap in but allow me to keep my original wheel and brake setup

Thanks.

Just install a set of Progressive fork springs and forget the air part, or Gold Valve Emulators along with appropriate springs, which also make air pressure not required (or advised).

Your forks are 36mm, so 650/750 twin/900/1000 through 1980 will fit your triple clamps.
750 four through 83, but not GPz750, will fit.

There are a few others after 1980 that will work.
