Wheels on a KZ650C was created by Shoe48
I found a GS1100E swing arm finally If I wanted to install a wider rim what would it be off of ? Also If I wanted spoke wheels and keep my double brakes on the front would KZ1000 wheels fit/ Are the rim widths are the same as stock KZ650c mags ,, ?? :whistle:

650 and 76 - 78 900/1000 use the same front hub for wire wheels,you can use 1000 rear hub and just make spacers to match new swingarm. :whistle: goodluck,happy wrenching!

Shoe, I think your gonna have to go to a newer bike for a larger rim size. The 900/1000 use the same size rims as the 650 I believe. The front is 19 and rear is 18 arent they wireman ? I did get a 130/90/18 to fit onto my rim off a 78 KZ650C2 . The C2 has the mag wheels front and rear. My rear disc had the four bolt disc and the front has the six bolt disc's . Wayne
