Anyone ?

thats a Suzuki rim

Acutally, I believe that is not a Suzuki rim. It looks a LOT like the GS series mags, but I believe that is a Henry Abe wheel. I had a set that was for a Z1(before I owned one) and sold them. It took me forever to figure out what they were for and I mistook them for Suzuki rims as well (which is why I sold them). From my research, Henry Abe made aftermarket parts for the Japanese bikes in the 70's. I don't see them around much, so they may be worth some $$. I wish I'd have kept my set.

Does the front wheel look like this? If so, you have Henry Abe mags. Also, "HA industries" will be stamped on the inside of the rim. There is a z1 in the picture archive here with a set of these rims.

This is a good reference. The main giveaway is the fact that your wheel is a 7-star like the front wheel I posted below.

UPDATE: I found the guy that has my old Henry Abe's. He doesn't know what they are and I can buy them back for CHEAP. I'm talking to him now, but it looks like $50-$75.

The bike only has the rear, I'm not a huge fan of how it looks.
After looking at the link posted, I think the bike has an epm front rim.

That "EPM" front wheel could also be a stock KZ mag, which looks very similar. The KZ Mag will have "Enkei" and "Kawasaki" stamped on the inner black part of the rim. I just put a set of KZ mags on my Z1 and they look sharp.

If you have a 6-bolt rotor on the front and they look like EPM mags, they may be. To my knowledge, Kawasaki never made a mag with a 6 bolt rotor for the KZs or Z1s. I may be mistaken on that, but I'm about 98% sure. You can fit a 1980 KZ750G rear wheel with drum brake to your Z1 or KZ900 (couldn't tell exactly from the pic) easily and it will match your front nicely.

I edited the picture so you can see the front.
