put a pair of vise grips on the non threaded part,theyll come out.if you leave the forks on bike with fender attached it might be easier to get leverage.@plummen
Ok do I need to put some heat on the forks to get them out? My grip tool keeps slipping on the bolts. Maybe they used one of those heavy duty loctites in there.
they are the same as the exhuast studs on the 76-80 kz900-1000
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Exhaust studs from Z1enterprises.com are only $3 and change each. It'd be less hassle then cutting a bolt up, besides, if the bolt breaks you'll be pissed at yourself for trying to save $3!
kawasaki.com has parts diagrams and you can sort out if these studs are the right ones for your brake callipers.

Caps should be installed with the "arrow" on bottom of cap pointing forward.
