right they both have the 4 bolt pattern for mounting them thats pretty much universal for 650,750,900,1000 76-80(except shaft drive 1000 bikes)
i mean the pattern thats drilled into the rotors themselves,76-78 non ltd or z1r bikes had plain old rotors with no holes drilled in them B)

Paint the fenders too!
Just don't mix the back with the rear disc, the back has a different offset.
Love the look of Z1R disc's
