That was my first aftermarket purchase in 1977. It was from Beck Arnley products.
it cost $19.99. Then it cracked both of my side covers on a 76 KZ900.
Then I bought a new chrome Kerker for $159. Then it all began. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
BUT: here you go. search ebay and it sells for $149 :woohoo:
Vintage Henry Abe of Japan Kawasaki KZ Bread Box Air Cleaner Filter (f796d)
Vintage Henry Abe of Japan Kawasaki KZ Bread box air cleaner filter. Replaces the restrictive stock air box for improved air flow. Includes deluxe chrome plated air cleaner with washable foam filter and easy mounting rubber boots. Fits either the KZ1000 or the KZ650, not sure which. Approximate dimensions are 12" long by 2 1/4" wide by 4" high.

Thanks z1kzonly. Guy is asking about $80 for it, which is not far off the inflation adjusted 1977 $20 price .
Went to my bike and measured my carb spacing and I pretty sure his is the right model. But it cracked your side covers?

Yes It was a vibration thing. I remember way back. The box sit in nice but the 76 style side covers just touched. So by use, pushing the covers on, always checking them, your legs bumping the covers and stuff like that I believe helped put little cracks in both cover over time.
But them bikes took a beating! Street drags, dragstrip drags, knobby tire dirt drags etc.
I am sure nowadays you can check, maybe trim the rubber boots a little?
Good luck and go for it! Buy em! treat yourself.
