Check out the FAQ section on parts.  Lots of lists of vendors used by forum members.

I would have thought they are all the same.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

Yes, I'm pretty sure they are. Give them a call, Jeff is a member here, he has an incredible Kaw Z1.

Or check the parts fiche and compare years to be sure part number is the same:
http://www.westernhonda.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=2035264&category=Motorcycles&make=HONDA&year=1974&fveh=123285

If you haven't already done so, take time to read the FAQ section, you will learn so much. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?board=11.0

And download the service manual from this site. Ok?
