need rotor holder wrench

[Harry Seifert]

try the parts/service dept at an older Kaw shop. Ask if they have a 57001-113 (part # from '75 Z1 parts book) or ask if they can order one for you. The Z1 valve shims are the same, I just found my stash, and the tool as well. Maybe we'll give it a shot at the next Julian/SDTechDay. Buddy
