which brakes are a direct swap?

Need to know what calipers/rotors,ect from other models are a direct bolt on for my 1977 KZ1000. Please list any possible bikes ex. KZ650, CSR, ect. Also same question for wheels. thank you.

Are you looking for an upgrade or just replacements?

Front calipers are interchangeable between 77-80 KZ1000 and 76-80 KZ750 twins, and 77-80 KZ650, as are the rotors. Rear brakes are a different story, can't help you any on that.
Wheels are interchangable between the 77-80 KZ1000 and 76-80 KZ750 twins (front and rear on the 76-79 750 twin, front only on the 80 750 twin due to rear drum brake), and 77-80 KZ650 (front only).

steell...translation please..

are the models interchangeable, or the years within the models.. my reason for asking is z1enterprises is not showing thier stainless steel rotors as being super interchangeable.....450, 1000, and 1100 only.

You can use a set of ltd wheels and brakes.

Is there any bike out there that would be dual piston or some other type of upgrade that is a direct swap or minimal mod?
