need help identifying wheel
26 Nov 2007 17:29
I bought a large lot of kz parts and cannot identify this wheel, It appears to be a 16" ltd wheel however it has a 6 bolt rotor and the sprocket is not what I'm used to on a kz.
Any help would be great, The first pic is the wheel I cannot identify and the second is of a ltd wheel from a 80 for comparison.

I guess the 6 bolt rotor and different sprocket carrier threw me off.
And that leads me to a different question anyone use a newer sprocket carrier say a 78 on the older wheel?
Thank's bob, Thats quite possible as the parts lot I bought had quite a few various parts mainly early police special but he said there were some 900ltd parts.rotor side looks like '76 KZ900LTD.....

If that wheel is from a 76 900 LTD it would make it a Morris mag. They are pretty hard to find and it would probably fetch some pretty big bucks on Ebay to someone restoring a 900 LTD. Kaw only used the Morris wheels for one year before Enkei started knocking them off. Steell knows a good bit about the Morris wheels I'm sure he can add some more info.

On my oem 1976 KZ900-B1LTD Morris Mags, the rear wheel rim on sprocket side adjacent to valve stem hole has what appears to be a round logo/trademark about 1/2 inch diameter, but have no idea what the little symbol depicts or whether it's some sort of validation stamping exclusive to genuine Morris Mags.
