Nice bike . Cool handle bars .

If I were you I would get the correct seals . Not fun when you do a job and spend time and money then have to do it over . I try and use oem parts whenever possible as Ive never had much luck with aftermarket stuff . Sometimes you have to as not everything is still available .

Looks like a great project you have there

Fork seals are rather important. I'd be surprised if incorrectly sized seals could be forced to fit and work right afterwards.
I would get the correct size and made in Japan. Either OEM or K&L. Unfortunately, Z1Enterprises.com doesn't sell K&L fork seals any more.
Partzilla seems to indicate that they have the 92049-1216 fork seals in stock, but their info isn't always correct. If Partzilla has them, then the Kawasaki dealer should have them as well.

Is the motorcycle a 1974 or 1975 model? I'm not sure what you mean by late 74 Z1.
