If you mean the exhaust headers, no. The KZ1000 is a Big Kaw.

The exhaust spacing is different & I think the pipes are larger --- the exhaust gaskets are 42 mm, while the 650's are 39 mm.
The 1000 engine is probably taller, so the header pipes would be longer.

Those are carb holders, & if you have 26 mm carbs, many 1000s also had 26 mm carbs, but the spacing of the bolt holes are different, you can only use ones from a KZ 650 or a KZ 750, I believe
