Spiffy Italian mag for KZ ???

HOLY S**T there proud of those that's retarded....I still want a set.

Fish, The H/A caliper hole is too big for the axle.....any idea's what I need? Does it use the stock spacers or is mine missing that? I can take a pic if that helps.

It should have a combination spacer/collar. It needs to be the correct length to center the wheel and correct diameter to mount the caliper bracket. This pic shows the collor for the Grimeca caliper. The H/A caliper is free floating on the on the spacer/collar (it is a single piston and needs to float), where as the Grimeca is in a locked position (twin piston and has to be locked in place).
My wheels came with the spacers needed. I have made conversions where I would turn down a stock spacer to accept the caliper bracket, but most the time I would just machine up a new spacer.

Something like this. I made this conversion, but it shows the spacer/collar I used. This one is a twun piston and the caliper bracket had to be locked down in place.

Check out these they are italian. Melber is the make.

Fish, Thanks.......thats what I thought. The seller told me a kz900 ltd spacer will work but I don't think so. I have a parts bike so i'll check anyway.

Never head of those Melber rims. Its that for a kz900?

I have a set of Dymags that were used on the race bikes. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Still not home Henry?? :laugh:

Fish, question for ya as you seem to know the most about aftermarket rims. I picked up a Yamaha XS650 and it has a true star shaped mag on the front. Is that a H-A? I'll work on posting a pic.....I don't know s**t about Yamaha's....

ok, here the pic: Whats you think?

They are the rare "Pentagram" wheels. I have been told that they were made by Shelby-Dowd for Yamaha. The Pentagram wheels and Shelby wheels are both unmarked and have the insides painted.I cant confirm who made them, but Shelby is a likely candidate.
I have only seen 3 sets and I have owned 2 of the sets. I have a set on my 76 Street Tracker.

You the MAN Fish! I'm guessing you sold the other set you had? Would you mind telling when you got for them? I only have the front.......the rear is a aluminum shouldered rim. This bike is going to be sold as I have too many and need to thin them out. Wondering if I should pull it off or what?

Thank you for the great responce!! One of these days, I may have to contact you about a big brake kit for my z1r. Very nice stuff!
