Rear wheel swap 79 kz650 was created by vach
Will a rear spoked with disc brakes from a Kz900 or 1000 fit my 79 KZ650 as a direct bolt on, no mods. If so, what years? I want a spoked disc setup that I can just bolt on. I have the rear master and caliper, I just need the rim.. Also, I noticed there is a cross reference program from kawasaki for the computer? Is this true? Where can I get it? Will it run on a mac? Most likely not but what the hell.....

Nope, nothing will bolt straight on but a 650 wheel.
Cross referencing part numbers is easy, just go to Kawasaki.com put your cursor on "Owner info" and then click on "Parts diagrams", it pretty self explanatory after that.

Do you have a spoked rear wheel with a disc? The dual front discs? The have to be 4 bolt setup on the front. I'm not sure they will fit but I will ask... Thanks

for the front you just need to remove chrome cover on right side of wheel its already threaded for another disc then you just have to get another caliper and a dual output brakesplitter
