    The stanchion (tube) and the bottom lug.
     Caliper is 108mm.

    is it 108mm from one brake hole to the other? Otherwise it doesn't work for me.
    I have a 108mm brembo m4.

     Yeah.
     Hang on though!
     I would not be at all certain that even if you obtained the lugs from the RS that they would be compatible with the Z's suspension internals.
     Remember the Z has a damper cartridge in one side only while the RS has it in both.
     Unless you have access to engineering facilities and the knowledge how to use them you would be in a much better place if you aquired complete legs from an RS.

    I don't understand the adjustments. I have Andreani mounted and it is regulated on both bottles from above.

    I get it. It has an adjustment below on the right side only.
    can't be undone?

    So I don't know what you mean. Sorry mate, I don't speak English and I use google translate to understand each other.

    Little by little I am going to do the conversion. In principle, the entire RS fork is not worth it, because it is longer than my original one.
    And the SE fork I can't put andreani suspension and it has 100 mm brembo.

    SOLUTION: Only Z900 RS dropouts, which are 108mm and the gold bottles are from the z900 50th anniversary.


    If you want, I will go up the process step by step.
