I have a 78 KZ650 with the factory mags. What spoked wheels can I get to fit this?

Do you have a C or D model?

B model 650 wheels will be a dirrect swap, although you'll have to convert the front and rear brake systems.

750 and 900/1000 are possabilities as well, but they will involve different axle sizes too.

Well I swapped the spokes off my 79 B3 for supposedly f model mags with drum rear brake. A straight swap. Not sure what year f model was.

No Idea, I went the other way...but I've kept my spokes just in case.

I understand the lure of spoke wheels but I'll stick with my mags! No rust, no adjustment, etc.

Spokes have more of an Old School look. On a Cafe bike, they look better.
I'll stick with the mags though. I prefer them.

Sorry guys, I was gone for a few days. Reason for spokes is Im building a KZ chopper and I like the look of the spoked wheels better. It is a C series...
