C crossland Old School Hero Feedback View Jul 14, 2012 #8 i was thinking about one of these http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/bbb-ahea ... 21879.html its bound to be heavier, but it would be invisible. and i like the idea of the insertion over the put over type. just looks like a handy bit for the box. my long term plan is to replace the steerer on my z1's. but i need to get it out and make sure the replacements are compatable.
