I believe the CSR 650 had a rear drm mag wheel. Im not sure about the rear spoke disk brake though.

The 81 and 82 650 CSR came with a 16" spoked rear wheel with alloy rims, in 83 they went to alloy mags 16" rear, 19" front. They never made a 650 that had spoke wheels and a disc brake in the rear.

which kz's had spoke rear disc, 750 twins i know, but what else? if i was to convert the 650 to rear disc i would have to keep it a spoked wheel.
funny i like Japanese bikes with spokes and disc, but i cannot stand my HD's to have anything other than cast, wierd huh?

Was there a 650 that had a rear drum alloy rim? could have sworn i have seen them.

The F models came with an 18" rear mag with drum brake.
