This Z bar is rusty and has pitting that will require some thought as to how to repair it. Although it isnt close to NOS condition, I am not asking alot for a part that isnt reproduced. Piviot ball moves and threads are good. I am in need of two dog dish caps for my 67 GS and will trade this for one nice dog dish. Doesnt have to be NOS condition, but also, I dont want junk.
