Pretty sure it's a LH thread but you still need to gain access to the actual spindle to hold with pin-nose pliers.

Re: Kawasaki z500
Would love another Z500 (I bought one brand new from Steve Hartley in Warrington in 1979).
Or even better a GPz550D1, now they are nice
Good luck with the sale, I need to sell a few before I buy any more though.

The result was that the entire alter...
