Wheel Fitment

Heh fellas, will the 83 KZ440 LTD Beltdrive rear wheel fit the LTD KZ750 Beltdrive, Both being Drum brake! Kawasaki Tech said they won't but I beg to differ as they look pretty much the same. Let me know doctors & pros? there is a bunch of 440's on ebay but no 750's.
Sport Bikes Are Cool, But Classics Are Nothing Less than SWEET!!!!

Keep in mind that the brake itself may not be adequate. Brakes are engineered to match the weight and horsepower of their intended machines. Be sure to check the actual area (in sq. in.) of the brake linings and the diameter of the drum of each bike to see if they provide equal stopping power. Ed

I don't know if it will work or not.
I just checked and according to kawasaki.com parts diagrams they both use the same diameter axle. But different brakes.
