18" Wheels 81 KZ550

25 Sep 2009 20:15 - 25 Sep 2009 20:30

I am bobbing my 1981 kz550 and i would like to put 18" spoke wheels on it, I am not sure what years might fit easily. I would also consider 16"

Is your bike a 550-Ltd? If so, the 81-82 KZ650-CSR wheels are a direct bolt-on. The CSR has spoked wheels - 19" front, 16" rear - each w 48 spokes.

Those sizes seem pretty perfect, thanks for the info- you have completed a very long search for me!

Just some stuff... It's kinda typical for the 550 wheels to be installed on the CSR. Checking the diagrams at Kawasaki.com, you'll see that the two bikes share a number of wheel parts.
