beer, im on it!

Sorry but they show different part numbers for the "a" models vs the "b" models. They might fit but if you can't return them I wouldn't buy them

forgot to ask where did you find part numbers i cant find a manual anywhere ?

[Jarney]

Manuals are in the download section of this site. For part numbers you can go to various sites and look at the "Parts Fiche" - places like Bike Bandit or Ron Ayers or Babbits or parts depot. Later.

I use www.kawasaki.com for parts reference and cross reference

The forks should fit but I'm not 100% sure. the big difference would be with the brake rotor. they are on different sides between the model years. You would have to see if you could adapt a brake line if you wanna stop.

[jmac]

Your brake caliper bolts to the lower forktube.The zl9 tubes are set up for dual disc brakes.(Might not matter)

[gingernut]
