KZ750B Extended fork problem!

...And just a minor point of order, I'm sure it's a '77 but the front brakes are mounted like a '78+, meaning behind the fork leg instead of in front.
The master cylinder is from a 78-79 also.
Look at the left side engine cover, if there are three bolts in a circle on the alternator part of the cover, then it's a 76-77, if not then it's probably a 78.
Or just post the manufactured date off the sticker behind the headlight on the headstock.
It does make a difference as to whether it's a 76-77 or 78-79, the fork tubes on the 76-77 are shorter than the 78-79, 23" for the 76-77 vs 24" for the 78-79.

Back to the fork issue. All I have is a set of KZ400 forks and a set of 78 Honda CB750 forks.

77-79 KZ1000 forks and/or upper tubes are the same.
I think 78-79 KZ650 reg/rec is the same (been awhile since I researched that).
KZ1000 77-79 front and rear wheel fit, as does the front wheel off a 77-80 KZ650 (but not the rear).
As for pipes, MAC or Dunstall Decibel replica mufflers on stock head pipes.
You have another 78-79 750 twin?
