my mistake on the rotors. :huh: i have a 10' rotor. so the calipers will fit and i need 2 matching rotors now.
that does look like the weapon from "krull". is there a thickness difference between single and dual rotors?
thanks.
thanks.

Stock dual disk rotors are thinner than stock single disk rotors.
I have used two single disk rotors on a dual disk conversion, and while not ideal, it does work.

I don't know what they're from, but it wasn't a '77 KZ650.

Those are definately from an 80's+ era Kawi, and look identical (minus the dust/grunge/fading) to the front calipers on my '84 ZN700 and my wifes '96 VN750 Vulcan.
In fact, both of our bikes use the exact same brake pads, some I'm sure they're probably the same calipers.
Kawi used those calipers on the VN750 Vulcan all the way through '07, which is the last year they offered that model (here in the U.S. at least).

They also look like the calipers from a 83-85 GPz750, although the GPz750 calipers are black.

Sure see if they fit, and get a caliper rebuild kit if they need it.
