If you are asking about the gear case, it was used on a bunch of models. Take a look at the Related Fitment list — www.partzilla.com/product/kawasaki/41078...cce842e25cd8afa045a0

Some of the earlier speedo drives have the exact same components as the 750 Turbo. Only obvious difference I can see is the Turbo's is painted black.

I went through this exact situation on Saturday...

My Mrs' bike forks are OEM '81 GPz11 forks.
Added '84 GPz 750 wheels.
Add into the mix the original speedo on her GPz is the stupid electronic one.
The OEM electronic drive didn't mate up with the '84 GPz wheel.
Forgive my lack of memory, but details escape me, but IIRC the OEM electronic speedo drive had large "tabs" and small "valleys"
The "84 wheel has the same set of small valleys and large tabs. This combo didn't allow the large tabs on the speedo drive to fit the small valleys of the '84 wheel...
Back to evilbay.

He didn't say exactly what model, so I just assumed the 83 750 Turbo which has a typical KZ mechanical speedo drive gearbox.

No worries Martin. I was just sharing a similar experience.

ha ha. okay. That was just my way of asking the op what motorcycle he has. The 750 is the only stock turbo I'm aware of.
