36mm diameter z650 forks k207

Your right i believe the bottom one isn't. Top ones not off a z jason a kh has confirmed that but is identical to f1 except the bolts

This may help

Please note the similarity to the f1 yoke but not a through bolt with nut and yoke isn't machined to suggest it should be either.

Might be worth ignoring the light cluster as that may or may not be the right one for yoke as previously suggested on fb

Thanks nurse for the idea of the pic [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Hi all

I have a weird issue

I have a f1 top yoke fitted to my rickman cr750.

The manual shows the bolt as m8 56mm

The ones i have which fit perfectly  are m8 40mm

56mm will hang out miles

Is there another model or something I'm missing as i need to.replave these bolts as plating is wrecked

How would you recomend applying it. Warming wax. Warming frame or just rub it on n rub it in

That's a good idea with the beeswax method👍.
If you do decide to go the beeswax route contact your local beekeeping association (I'm a member of my local group at Ruislip & Pinner). At this time of year the hives have just had the honey removed from the frames and some wax is left as a residue from the extraction process. You'll need to thin it down a bit (heat it very gently in a pan to melt it) but once it's on it will last for ages. Unfortunately we sold all our beeswax to someone who makes and sells beeswax candles for Christmas!
Oh, and buy a jar of honey from your beekeeping association whilst you are there, you'll be amazed when you taste it 😊🍯.
Cheers
Dave

Will do thank you

Wax, easy to top up, won't de laminate and flake like lacquers etc. Blaksmiths use beeswax but a hefty use of under diluted wash and wax once a week kept a fair portion of my chrome intact for a decade of winter riding on my 500/4. It does need regular topping up.

Good advice. Thanks

Evening all

Anyone got any good solid advice for restoring a nickel frame and preventing further rust.  I dont really want to have it renickeled unless i really have to as i want it to look its age with sensible patena but not tired. But it definitely needs to be sealed or something to prevent further issues

Thanks

Pete
