it's steel.
when you repair or replace it, try painting it black.
i though it looked a lot better that way

okay thanks. i might redo the bike in a nice red

have you any idea as too improve the forks, i am told that these are what caused the wobbles [apart from stupidity, excessive speed etc?]

oh yeah, thats a mint looking bros.....mmmmm orange, tempting.......mine has great aftermarket rims and they look 50 times better than stock rims

well - your tyres out of spec was prob the biggest problem, but mine had a very soft front end when i bought it. i used a 40mm preload spacer, and went to heavier oil and more of it.
i'm 104 kilos though, so your experience will be different.
remember this is an old bike, so get someone who undertands suspension setup to take a look at it, front and back.
this isn't something to screw around with at home, especially if your wheel sizes are different from stock.

yeah good point, it does need a heavier fork oil though, they still handle bloody good

1: i need a new headlight, should i go aftermarket, eg...buel, or some other streetfighter style? how expensive are these?
2. could i fit a gpz right hand side control [killswitch and all that]. or should i just ge a new one, because mine looks like it exploded.
3. where can i get a new tail peice [plastic thingy] from? i want a bros one, would a bros 400 tail peice fit?
4. my tank has a large dent, the old man said this can be fixed with the right stuff. could i do this myself? or is there anyone in masterton/palmy area that could do it?
5. new front gaurd. is there any aftermafket bits? or would an original be better or cheaper?
6. new instument cluster.......that exploded when the bike bounced on it.
7. my zorst has some big kinks, this, apparently, can be fixed.....how?

any help would be great thanks dudes
