Transmission information

I'm taking apart bottom half out of a 1979 KZ1000st. It so far has a MK11 crank and looks like what amounts to a MK11 trans. It also has a six spring clutch hub on it. A KZ only has 5 springs so what gives? Is this the nrmal clutch for a shaftie or do I have a crossbreed here? I thought the 6 spring cluch hub design started with the J-models in '81. Anyone care to clue me in on what I have here? Appreciate it.
1980 LTD (changed over the years), 1979 LTD (being rebuilt), 1977 KZ turbo and various KZ's in various states of build. KLX110

ST uses 6 bolts on the clutch. Just another heavy duty part of the ST to go along with the rest of it. One great model, all the best parts.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
