Oops, Sorry, I did it the other way around on my bike (Z-1 wheel on 76 KZ forks).
I think the Z-1 fork spacing may be wider than the KZ or the availabe room was less with the Z wheel (Z1 may have a wider wheel((hub)) and speedo drive combined would be less than the KZ would allow). I dont think I could have used the KZ sppedo drive on the Z wheel as it was different (the drive plates I think- it was a while ago and the details escape me) or maybe I didnt like the KZ speedo drive not being snug against the fork ( maybe it would have worked, but I didnt like the gap between the speedo and fork leg ).
Or it could have just looked funny(small KZ drive on Z-1 wheel) and I thought it would look better with the bigger Z-1 speedo drive. I'm kinda "funny" like that.

Heres 2 pics of th4e Shelby wheels for the CB. The wheels are identical, but both have different calipers and discs on them.
This one looks like yours

This one has a Grimeca twin piston caliper and a very different 2 peice disc than the Hurst brake one has.

any of these mags 4sale?

what are the options for mags on a shaft bike?

Exactly, where can one get these? Keep your eyes open on eBay I suppose.

I have a rear Lester i'd sell......

All the mags I have posted pics of have been sold. When I got my Honda, it had those "ugly" spoke wheels so they were replaced with Lester's, Morris, Henry Abe's, EPM's then with the Shelby Dowd's(2 different sets- can you say OCD?). Then the Mags started looking "plain", so I laced up a set of Boranni Alloy wheels to the hubs. IMO, nothing looks better than the Boranni's ('til I change my mind again :S ).
Ebay would probably be the best place to find mags or better yet, place an add in the KZR wanted/for sale section. The stock Enkei's really look like the Morris mags (I have been told that they are a copy of the Morris) and can often be had for not too much coin.
The CB's current wheels(at least for now :dry: ).

Whats the axle size for those and what model's did they come on or are they aftermarket?Those are some sexy ass old school mags right there.

I have only seen those mags for the CB 750 SOHC K. They are aftermarket. I beleive the axle sizes are (F)15mm and (R) 20mm.
