Reproduction Rear Shock Absorbers For 1973-1976 Kawasaki Z1 & KZ900 - Adjustable, 13.5" Eye-to-Eye

About This Product

Restoring a classic 1973-1976 Kawasaki Z1 or KZ900? These are a pair of brand new reproduction rear shock absorbers designed to look and function like the originals. They come in their packaging, ready to bolt on and bring back the proper ride height and handling to your vintage bike.

They're adjustable, which is a nice feature – you can likely adjust the preload (spring tension) to suit your weight or riding style. They're oil-type shock absorbers, which was the standard technology for the era. The measurement is 13.5 inches from the center of the top mounting hole to the center of the bottom mounting hole (eye-to-eye).

They're made from various materials to replicate the original construction. The OEM part number they're based on is 45014-072. They're listed as 'Kawasaki OEM reproduction' from the brand, and the MPN is generically listed. They are NOT high-performance aftermarket shocks, but faithful replacements for a stock restoration. A must-have if your original shocks are leaking, rusted out, or just worn out after 50 years. They'll make a huge difference in how your classic Kawasaki looks and rides.
