I have a set of Lester's on one of my Z1000A's...they look good, but when the next 1000A comes together, it'll have spokes and dual disc's up front...

Roy I could be wrong but the Blue Turbo Z1R does not have Lesters on it. I thought the Lesters have dual ribs instead of the single rib design of the Turbo

The first 900 LTD's came with Morris Mags, a friend had one. I had a Morris Mag on my Amen frame chopper at the time. In '77 when I got my 1000 LTD which I still have :) the wheels were made in Japan. They looked the same as the Morris but were a dark gray rather then the more black color of the Morris. If I remember correctly the 900 LTD's were made here in the USA or atleast assembled here.

For the 1977 year model, Enkei virtually copied the Morris mag design and Kawasaki used Enkei mags for the 1000LTD line (which were all assembled in Nebraska). The 900 LTD was also assembled in Nebraska.

I'm gonna strip my lesters and do the duplicolor light coating sytems in gold and drilled dual disks

Did that with my stock C2 wheels. Looked good but it was a pain keeping the back wheel clean.



They will be going on my project C2, as a stock colored 18" Z1R front wheel is going on this Winter with a matching black rear.

the rear lester i have on my 74 is 3.25 wide so its quite a bit wider than the stock rim i like the look on that bike but in fact spoke wheels really do it for me i also have a couple of sun rims that really look good on my little drag bike.
