Wheel interchange

22 May 2010 07:50

I made a mistake and bought a mag wheel (rear,16") intending to replace the spoked wheel on my 1981 kz1000 CSR. It came without a rear brake rotor. The wheel I bought is apparently for a 1980 or earlier bike. The rotor only uses 4 bolts where my newer one uses 7 bolts. My question is, if I were to find the proper rotor for the older wheel, will it then work on my 1981?
Thanks,
Robert

That bites. If this doesn't work out, I have a complete wheel assembly for an '82 LTD that may be a better fit.

TexasKZ, Thanks for the offer. I'm not having any luck with my original question. Why don't you pm me and tell me what you want for the wheel?

77-80 kz1000 rear rotor should work,i think 750 rear rotor as well as 650 may also work just make sure you have the right spacers for the wire wheel
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

I just happen to have a 78 kz650 parts bike. I will have to go check the rear rotor diameter. Thanks for the info.
