That is a late model wheel that has a hubless disc. That would be from a 1000 MKII or a GPZ1100. Almost all 1979 and later bikes had those wheels. Since the 76 KZ900 had a rear drum brake, I was wondering how you plan on adapting the rear disc to your bike. This will require some welding on your frame and swing arm.

Those six bolt rorors bring good money on eBay.

Do you have the calipers too?

I have a front mag that would work. I have a rear wheel but it had the smaller axle.

You need to find a rear drum mag to make it a easy swap over.

I have a friend that has a set of Lester mags for a Z1 KZ drum type set up.

But they will be 16" wheels in most cases.

Alright folks, I looked closer and it is seven bolts on the rotors. I just imagined even numbers and thought six or eight without paying enough attention. I have some cell phone pics now.

So ahhhh, Who needs a set of J wheels? :blush: Any takers? I'm not going to use them. I also have a complete front and rear disc brake setup for a 1980 or 1981 ltd 750 I need to part with. I actually have the entire LTD but the rest of it is pretty much spoken for.
