Kawasaki 7 bolt Rotor Suggestions was created by rohalloran
I hope to fit a set of KZ1000 P wheels to a cafe racer build I am working on (
link
). The wheels are on the way to me but do not have rotors.
The current GPZ900 rotors are 280mm outer diameter and 130mm inner diameter with 6 bolts.
The KZ1000 P rotors are 300mm outer diameter and 130mm inner diameter with 7 bolts from what I can see online.
My question is can anyone recommend similar sized brake disc (270-280mm outer and 130mm inner) which are 7 hole and might fit on? This would mean no modifications to the current calliper setup.

I don't know what will work. The 550C Ltd Fr br disk is 270mm in diameter w 7-bolts & marked min TH = 4.5 mm.
From Partzilla a number of other models have the same Fr disks as the 550C, including the 1000J & several 1100 models.
EBC may list them for the 1000J. I saw some on EB for the 1000K Ltd which are the same.
Some if not all of the KZ750-4 Fr disks are smaller in diameter than the 550.

Thanks @martin_csr.
I actually came across these today which might work:
www.metalgear.com.au/mgear-brake-disc-fr...eftright-p-5309.html - 280mm outer diamter
www.metalgear.com.au/mgear-brake-disc-rear-p-5187.html - 270mm outer diamter.
Holes look good so just need to find out if the internal diameter is 130mm. They are listed as fitting various KZ750 Models
www.metalgear.com.au/searchByBikeModel.p...name=KZ+750+&x=0&y=0
Can be got direct from Germany too.

Those rotors look like 79-80 KZ1000 E2 & KZ1300 shaft drive rotors. I threw a set in scrap bin cause no one wanted them on ebay?

I will check this evening as I am scrapping a set of KZ E2 shaft rims! As no one wants to buy them?? I will measure the brake area diameter for you.

Forgot, been awhile since I seem them. But partzilla listed them as 79-80 E2 shaft drive only.
I tossed the rotors out a year ago for scrap. So I could not get O.D. These rims are going to scrap today.
I have no room in my garage! Too much stuff!
This scrap is going to buy me a case of beer and a pizza this weekend!
Got $47 bucks! got to love that for a trip to the scrap yard 5 minutes away!

Thanks for sharing these @z1kzonly. It turns out the rotors I need have a 168mm inner diameter.
