Im not too savvy with all of this so I couldnt really modify anything too extensively.

Maybe another models rims can be swapped right on?:laugh:

Sure no problem. "Almost" all Kawasaki chain drive large bore street bikes have interchangeable wheels. I have a set from my KZ1000 CSR that would fit just fine. The notable exetions would be the KZ1300 and the 79/80 1000 shaft. (but those are shafts)and I said chain.
74 Z1-A stock
76 KZ-900 Totaly stock vice MAC pipe
77 KZ-1000A stock
78 Z1-R 100%MINT 500 original Mi.
78 Z1-R Yoshi 1103 kit stage 1 cams Yoshi pipe. Etc
79 KZ-1300 (1400)
80 KZ-1300
81 Scratch built GPz1150R
82 KZ1000

Your wheels may fit a 1980 KZ750 four, but it would take some modification to make them fit a 1980 KZ750 twin.

Be nice if the OP had specified which 750 :(

So, what wire wheels would fit a KZ750 four cylinder with minimal fabrication?
1981 KZ750H2 - V&H 4-1 pipe, pods, jetted, clubmans, homebrew rearsets, 18" rear wheel and more.

Look in the Filebase for the wheel bearing list and look for bikes that share the same wheel bearings with your bike. That will tell you they use the same axle diameter, the rest is easy.



Here you go, a direct link to it :)
