I meant use the 2 front on front.
And the rear on the rear.
Front and back have same bolt pattern but a little different offset.
Can't mix frt & Rear
From what I remember using a disc on a CCR Dragwheel 20 years ago.
When you get them Snap-On Tool guy has a nice surface flap wheel for an air tool.
Looks like you just surfaced the disc, if you want to clean them up.

FSM says 250mm disc diameter front and rear on 1978 Z1R (KZ1000-D1) and 1979 Z1R-II (KZ1000-D2).
Don't know what diameter FSM specifies for 1980 KZ1000-B4 LTD.
kawasaki.com doesn't help very much, because the different hole patterns will carry different part numbers even on otherwise identical parts.
If both rotors are exactly the same (offset and thickness) except for 1/4" larger diameter, the larger rotor's circumference will run 1/8" closer to the stock caliper.
I don't know from actual experience whether that would allow sufficient clearance between the rotor and caliper.
However, given sufficient clearance for the rotor to spin within the caliper, with 1/8" less clearance than stock, am thinking the larger rotor would function okay in the stock caliper.
But that's armchair engineering at its worst.
I would fit the larger rotor with the stock caliper, and hand-spin the wheel while observing clearance between the rotor's edge and the caliper.
Good Fortune!
