Hi everyone,

I can't seem to find if the luggage rack K53020-035 is for a 750 twin or four cylinders. Would anybody know ? Partzilla is of no help as it just states KZ750 ( www.partzilla.com/product/kawasaki/K53020-035 )
I attach a picture of the rack that I might buy if fitting for a 750 H LTD.

Cheers

Below is a  luggage rack for the 750H. I've seen a couple on EB over the years. 
I don't know if another oem rack would've been made for the model but probably not.

Just an FYI. I installed a K&G luggage rack from back in the day. Most are chrome but some are black. KG racks are universal fit and listed in all sorts of ways, often times according to what motorcycle they were on. Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, CB750, GS850, XS650, etc etc etc. Nice ones on EB sometimes can be kind of overpriced, especially when listed for a Honda.

1981 KZ650-CSR. frame is the same as a 750H.  Luggage carrier installed w K&G KZ440 brackets.
I originally installed it w simple homemade brackets so that the rack was closer to the seat.

Be sure to examine the chrome carefully >> sometimes digital pics obscure the rust & flaws.  Also, there are various different arms that fit to the shocks.  Get arms that have the least amount of curvature/offset so that the rack will fit closer.  I got  a good rack, then found some different/better arms.  The racks have a flex adjustment for the width >> loosen two large screws at the rack, adjust the width, then tighten the screws.
