I need some help solving a mystery - solved

Everyone here was so helpful in helping my husband solve his non-working headlight mystery that I am hoping you can help us solve a brake pad mystery. My husband owns a 1976 KZ900. It has disc brakes in the back. They need replaced. He had a flat tire the other day and when he took the wheel off the brakes just fell apart. We looked online and I can not find these brake pads. Can you please help us? Did the KZ900's have rear disc brakes? He has had many issues with this bike where things are not what they should be. Like a speedometer cable that was too short even though it was for his bike. We think perhaps before he bought the bike it was modified. Here is a picture of the brakes that were on the bike. Thanks for all of the help.

Z1E lists rear brake pads, and lots of other stuff, for 1976 KZ900-B1 LTD.
With very reasonable pricing and best customer service on the planet.

Good Luck!

Thank you for the response. I can not, no matter how hard i try get the pictures to show up here. Anyway, I followed the link and they are not the ones. The ones off of his bike are square. they are about 2 1/4" by 2" and have 2 holes at the top. I will keep trying to get the pictures to load. Thanks.

Thank you Patton, after looking around a bit in the link you sent me I was able to find the right bake pads. Thanks for the help.

So, what brakes are actually on the bike?

Am happy to see wifeofaKZlover found the correct rear pads. Perhaps these Z1E square rear pads for KZ900-B1 LTD .

The KZ900-A standard model of course had drum brakes.

Rear brake pads for the KZ1000-B1 KZ1000-B2 KZ900-B1 KZ750B KZ650C

Please check the shape of the pads for your rear brake. Kawasaki switched calipers part way through the production run - some bikes have a caliper that uses round pads, some use a rectangular pad.

They are the square ones. Sorry it took me so long getting back to everyone, but I had a broken computer and just got a new one. Thank you very much for all of the help.
