Cannot find a replacement triple tree for KZ650C3 custom 1979. Any help?

It's sort of like when replacing a drive chain, both sprockets should be changed as well since they'll all have related wear to them.
Besides, I don't believe that most places who offer the roller bearings sell them individually.
No tip necessary, just glad to help.
If you stick around here long enough, eventually they're will be another person like yourself who'll stumble in here with questions that you'll have a chance to share with what you learned first-hand.

.....Only other factor aside from triple tree is that when riding, more obvious at slower speeds, something around the rotors is clicking and when applying the front brake, it goes away. I can't find a mark on the rotor leading me to believe it is a bump or anything on the rotor. I cannot reproduce the sound when I put it on the stand a simply spin the front wheel. Wonder if rotor is bent? It does brake really well (has duel front rotors as well).Ever heard of this? If not no worries. You've helped enough.
More than likely it's either the speedometer reciever mechanism that is within the front wheel hub that you're hearing (which is normal), my 650 has a similar sound.
OR, it could be that your brake pads are worn and/or slightly loose, which would explain why the sound dissapears when you apply the brakes.

If anything, it will usually bend (ask Bluemeanie about this) before it will break - which could explain why the top tree cracked.:S
The lower tree is a tough piece and it's unlikely that it's cracked, but if you can get a good deal on both upper and lower (undamaged condition of course), then it sure couldn't hurt to replace them both.
