Yes i am aware thanks, think Phillippe mentioned them and i have looked at them, they are an option but they dont have the seam unless you pay double the price for the more expensive ones. That may ne the way to go for the future, for now just want it built and rideable, as i say spent way over budget already so not essential and easy to fit at later date, may use the originals for now and sell on others, which obviously aren't as stated on ebay for a Z1/Z900, but may suit other models.
Incidentally checked bottoms of both the are both cut parrallel, so yes its a photo illusion that they are not, however the ears themselves are different angles too.

My guess would be they are 400/440 Ltd as they have 34mm forks and a different longer fork rake accounting for the different ear angles.

Thanks for info guys, im miffed i bought them as Z1 as thats what they were advertised as! and obviously aren't, anyway bit the bullet and ordered a repo set from Zpower, more expense but least i know theyl def fit and chrome good. There were several sets on ebay but wary in case again didnt fit or wrongly advertised, also a lot very poor condition for prices asked! Just missed out on set on here too and no takers for anymore. Know they arent original but its better then the pinted ones ive got.

There's loads of stuff advertised as Z1 on ebay which isn't. Add Z1 to the title and then charge 2 or 3 times what would be if advertised correctly.
