i seem to have a strange zxr,,its suppossed to be a H model(bodywork is for sure)but the coolent bottle is under the tank?..is it meant to go there??it has(i think)a L model camchain tensioner..not the central bolt type as on other H models..later L type calipers(as i bought in error a set of pads for a L,but when they came they fitted !!).ive got a set of wheels coming soon so wondering now are they H or L wheels,,i know the cush drive is larger on the H rear wheel.is the front different diameter spindles?will they fit the H forks(if they are H forks!!) :smt017

the coolant expansion bottle is under the tank for H model bikes, L model bikes have it under the passenger seat.

if you have the screw and o ring (listed here as 130 and 670) (http://www.cmsnl.com/kawasaki-1990-h2-z ... ml#results) then its a H model tensioner.

you can check the engine number and see if it matches the frame, or a H/L year bike.

i think if you have L brakes you will have L wheels, the front disk diameter is 310 on the L and 300 on the H.

That's why I mentioned it as in the camchain fitting pics I saw the reservoir by clutch cover...so h models are under tank....my discs are 300mm btw but have later calipers fitted...
