Notice the bolt pattern that holds the disc on the front wheel. I can't find that on any pictures anywhere.

If its a 19 inch front rim. It might be a Morris Industries mag off of a 1976 KZ900LTD. Its been a LONG time since I saw that wheel. I kinda remember long bolts going through both discs instead of disc mounting bolts on both sides of the rim.

Look for the little Morris elblem that was cast into the rim. It was a "M" with an "I" over it.

If ain't a Morris mag, I got no idea what it is then!!! Sorry.

Examine both side the wheels very carefully for the name or an emblem or some other clue cast into them. I have never seen wheels that did not have some kind of identification mark (although I haven't seen every wheel ever made), so if you find anything cast into the wheel show a picture of it. Ed

So here are the pics of my wheels and speedo housing thats broke

and the one I bought off a 1000 doesn't look like it will fit even though the axle is the same size. If I knew the wheel model I would just get one for that. The wheel says 19x mt 1.85 Thanks

Sorry first pic is the new speedo gear housing. Second is my bikes speedo. Looks different.Will the 1000 speedo work? I would really like to identify and then get the correct model speedo gear housing instead of guessing.

You may be right about it being from a 1300. From looking at a few 1000 models & the 1300s, the 1300 is the only one I saw having a disk of that type w 7 bolt holes. All the others I've seen w that type of disk have 4 holes. To check further you could zip around the diagrams at Partzilla. The Kawasaki.com site takes more work.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration I think that looks like what I have.
