Z1000R ´83...Slightly modified...

If your "kz1000" is a ´82 Z1000J then pretty much everything is interchangeable. In fact ´82-83 Z1000R aka Eddie Lawson Replica was made by adding GPz stuff to J (fairing, oil cooler, cams, piggy-bag shocks, low-cut seat)

Well, you have a K frame (1982 LTD 1000)....the motor may fit but, the bodywork will not directly work. It is possible to make the bodywork adapt but it will take some work...it would have been a drop-on for a J frame. That said, Otakar (a member here) converted an M/K model to a GPz format...so if you search for his threads, he has photographically documented this metamorphosis. It might be cheaper and easier to locate a J frame.
