I like where the build is heading pigford

Where did you find an 18" drum mag wheel? I have an 18" drum Lester on mine, but by the time Kawasaki switched to cast wheels, didn't they also switch to a rear disc (which started in '76 with the LTD)?

If it has tits or tires, it'll give you problems!

You can get an 18" drum from a KZ550, but I think the axle size is different. It was a direct swap onto my 650B1

But I think we've gotten a bit off topic - back to that sweet Harris Magnum with the Dymag wheels!
