No. Because the Z1 seat pan and locking mechanism was changed on the 1976 KZ900 models.
The locking mechanism is completely different. The plunger on the Z1 seat pan won't fit onto the KZ900 seat pan.

Am thinking the positions of the hinges is also different, to match changed tab positions on the frame.

Good Fortune! :)

X2 it is a bit of work and the parts wont bolt in tight form just the pan side imo...old Z1 seats can be found or a cover easy enough....are you sure yours is a 73-75 Z1
