Non-American xz's

[Re-Vision]

Anyone know if any foreign xz's came with air front shocks and/or adjustable rear shocks(Like American 83's). What about any xz's with fuel gauges?    BDC

Our 400s all had them, both mine and roros,, bikes have 400 front ends

Would like to know if this is a standard shock for British xz's?

Mine was a Japanese import into New Zealand, it had air front forks and a rear shock exactly as pictured.

From what I can gather from my various parts fiches...

14X - Japan 400 - Air, no fuel gauge
11U - Europe - No Air, no fuel gauge
11V - Germany - No Air, no fuel gauge
16R - Australasia - No Air, no fuel gauge
28W - Australasia and other markets - Air, fuel gauge

I'm missing a few models though.:-(

That shock looks like the one that came off my Japanese model XZ400D, although the little turn thing had broken off - Never seen another like it though, naked 400s here don't have the damper adjustment and 16Rs certainly don't.  I've never seen a fuel gauge in real life

My Euro import XZ did not have a shock like that.
I did find by accident a NOS fuel tank in Oz with a fuel sender hole in it, but I am yet to see a bike fitted with one.

They obviously exist in England.

In a word.......no, well neither of mine look like that and its a registered UK bike.

I have just bought 2 items from the clocks seller, the rear side grab rail and fork brace for £31 delivered.  ;D

Is that shock from the D model? I vaguely remember someone posting about one from a Japanese source but could be wrong.
