It should be, think the kz 750/1000/1100 all had 18" rear and 19" front as stock. At least my Z1000R, Z1000J and gpz1100 all have that setup.

More work done. Finished up the left side rear set, took a bit of work to get it right but it came out better than I had hoped.

Got my Koso gauge in last week, installed it today. I really like the look of these.

good stuff and kudos for resisting the common fad of fititng an oversize rear. Will steer much quicker with the stock widths.

with all the nice work and bigger mill you are doing would seriosly consider a brake upgrade, if you'll ride the thing like it begs to, im pretty sure youll feel the need. i went up form 280 to 300 discs in my racer + P08 brembo's and after finding the right compund for the pads, they are another world,

The 750 E's (standards) definitely had the 19/18 setup...pretty sure the L's and R's did as well.

Very nice work Baldy,
Did you do your wheels or have them sent out for refinishing? I have a 83 ELR that I need to have the rims painted. Keep up the good work.

Did the wheels myself, did everything myself except the body work paint, left that to Mark Wing. Sandblasted the wheels then paint with POR 15 gold engine enamel, stuff is tuff.

More work done today. Got the Kerker back form the powder coaters. Not perfect but for what I started with a huge difference. Came out a lot better than I had hoped considering all the rust and pitting.
