The difference in the chain guard is that it's 3 mm wider on a Z1B compared to earlier models. (I bought my first Z1 in July/75 and have been learning ever since.)
Check out the Kawasaki service bulletin from Nov 6/74. It details all the changes. Here's a photo of the bulletin.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

10,000 miles were because of defective chains and I was NOT happy with it. Had NOTHING to do with the lack of a 1.5mm spacer.
THANK YOU
