Hi,
Yes, that's exactly what I'm after, many thanks!
Ah sorry, I've only just signed up, but as with most bike-related forums if I still have the bike I'm generally quite positively active.
To follow from my initial post, I'm planning a vague Wes Cooley build as I already have a US-spec '81 Z1000J done as a round tank Lawson rep, currently parked up next to the Kat in the garage. I can't stretch to an RG500 front end, but if you squint the stock forks look similar, as do EFE calipers so that might be the way forward. The Zed has linear fork springs and emulators in its 38mm forks, which are about as flexible as the rest of the chassis and make for lots of fun!
Once I get to the building stage I'll maybe start a build thread, albeit the Kat is currently in one piece at the moment.
