Spoke rear wheel with disc options? was created by Bulletkz
I'm swapping the mags on my 80 kz1000 to spokes.
Having trouble finding a rear rim with disc.
Any other models fit? Cruiser? Dirt? Honda ,yamaha or suzuki?
Anyone selling one?

Probably the KZ1000-A. 19" Fr & 18" Rr. 40-spoke w steel rims. I think the 750B wheels are similar.
I don't know about the fitment, but maybe the 81-82 KZ1000-M1/M2 CSR. 19" Fr & 16" Rr. 48-spoke w aluminum rims.

What KZ1000 do you have?

I have a 80 kz1000 ltd.
I found one rear on flea bay but the shipping cost is way too much.
Didn't think it would be so hard to find.

In general some parts for the Z1/900/1000 are probably harder to find & more expensive than the smaller models, because the Big Kaws are more valuable & command higher resale prices. but I really don't know that much about the bigger KZs. I wanted to refurbish the wheels on my 650-CSR, but it was going to cost too much. ss spoke sets alone were over $125 per wheel. If I had a 1000-CSR, it would have been worth the cost.

I'm picking up? Your not in the USA? Wider rear you need wider swingarm. The GS1100 Suki is a good swap. will handle 160 / 180 if pulled back on chain adjusters.
Plus an offset sprocket.
But Cheap parts! Believe it or not Harley! 18" x 5" x 180 wide wheel with 530 chain size which would help with clearance. disc brake, which you have.
I built this about 6 yrs ago when I lived in a different house. Sold it out of State.
Nothing like a wide wheel on an old Kaw

Livin in "CheektaVegas, NY
Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.
More room for The Old Girl, Harley 75 FLH Electra Glide,
Old faithful! Points ign. Bendix Orig. carb.
Starts everytime!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration18" disc hubs are hard to find for the KZ1000, only made them 2 years 77-78.
Find a hub, Buchanan spokes sells all the spokes you want 16" OR 18"
And rim rings.
Or if your financially loaded? $5,000 can but this set up! both wheels and swingarm, discs etc. it's on a FB site.
This guy uses Harley hubs, 5 hole pattern, same as disc side.

700 Dollar for a single rim, insane!!!
I think about i could sale my both AKRONT wheels (5.75 x 18 /3.50 x 18) for 700 Euro.
I have to resit to thought about it.....

Some pics of my bike more than 10 years old...

I have a 80 kz1000 ltd.

So It's a KZ1000-B4 Ltd. correct? just making sure. Since there was an 81 K1, it kinda helps to mention that it's a B4 to avoid any confusion. sometimes the model yr & date of mfg get mixed up. the earlier & later 1000 Ltd models are very different from each other. :)
