KZ750 twins wheels should work, I know they do on the 77-78 KZ1000A models.

Speaking of 79 KZ 1000.
I just got a chance to buy one. Have not seen it yet,
I have an appointment Saturday morning.
This person is not sure what model it is.
He says it is an 1000 A model? He knew it has a chain drive.
Don't laugh, "It is in the barn" under blankets.
This guy is out of town Alaska! I am in New York.
Is it an LTD or a Mark II maybe Z1R
How many models did they make in 79?
I stopped my knowledge curve at 76 KZ900 models.

Went thru 25 of these in 40 yrs.
I SOLD OUT! THE KAW BARN IS EMPTY.

If it is truly a 1979 1000 chain model, you will have a choice of KZ1000B3 (LTD), KZ1000A3 (MKII), and KZ1000C (Police). If it is a MKII, jump on it! No Z1R's were released in North America in 1979.:)

Thanks for the note!
I am hoping for the MKII! More desired than a LTD.
I sent one to California 4 years ago, It went right to Japan! 3 people including myself made money on it.
I am looking to flip it. Or flip it over at the local dragstrip with a 14 tooth front sprocket, 4 into 1 and a sticky, bald dunlop.
Will have camera with me Saturday.

Naiveté in grownups is often charming, but when coupled with vanity, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool - than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Did ever think that maybe you've been doing it wrong all these years?
