Nope, and it depends on year/models.
Tell us the year and model of the front forks (77 KZ1000 80 KZ650, etc), and we can probably tell you what fits.

The forks that are on my bike are off a kz 650 b 4 cylinder 1978. The wheel i am not sure what it is off of. I was planning on using the 650's old front axle it was a spoked rim. I also think the mag front wheek i have may be off a early 80's 550 maybe?

I just took two 650 front mag wheels to the scrapyard
78 KZ650/750 twin/1000 all have the same diameter front axle, 80's KZ550 probably has a smaller axle.
Use a dial/digital/vernier caliper to measure the ID of the forks (where the axle goes) and the ID of the wheel bearings in the wheel, if they are the same size, then it's simply a matter of spacers (and maybe moving the caliper or rotor to line them up).
