My B1 caliper piston is junk, there is a 77 a model caliper on e-bay right now and was not sure if I should bid or not. I'm not sure if there is clearance with my 16 inch mag.

Perhaps try kawasaki.com to determine whether the part is common to both models.

I have the combo in question it works alright.
before the gs11 swingarm this was mounted on the stock 77a1 swingarm.

Only issue I had was the rotor was tight on one side of the caliper and that was probably because I tried to use the a1 rotor on the ltd wheel, I installed an ltd rotor and all was well.

I thought the rotor on the B(LTD) was a different diameter than the one on the A(standard) model ?

Your right Bob. The LTD rear rotor is different. It also fits the 750 twin. You'll need the stock 77 caliper and mount also. That or swap out to 78 or later. The 77 LTD rear is unique to that model. I just went thru this recently.

I believe the rotor I have on there is a 80b4. I know the wheel is a 78b. I assumed 77-78 ltd where the same in the rear.
