Speedo & tach bracket compatibility?

14 Sep 2012 20:16

The bracket on my 78 kz1000 is broken where the tach attaches to it, speedo is intact. I've been looking on eBay for a replacements, will brackets off kz750's or 900's fit? They look identical but I'm not sure if spacing etc is the same, I'd like to keep the stock gauges and get a tach hooked back up again.

76 kz900-78 kz1000 should be same,79-80 1000ltd should also be same.
73-75 z1 900 is differant.
Id bet 650/750 should also work B)

Thanks everybody that's a big help, good too know Z1 was them as well. Redline cycle has new and good used ones also, I think I can find one for cheap on eBay hopefully. Nice to know most late 70's Kz's used the same bracket.
