Ok guys need help!!! Tryn to put mag wheels on my 78 1000 a2a that a family mem ordered online for me but they didnt get any info on what year bike the wheels came from. Heres the prob!! The i.d. demensions are smaller on the mag wheels than the factory spoke wheeld so none of my other parts will fit what should I do??? I tryd switching the baerings from fac wheel to new wheel but the o.d. dem are diff to. Even tryd to find new bearrings to fit but dnt know what year bike the wheels came from. The nums stamped on old mag wheel bearrings are 5302z made by nachi. What can I do to make these work?

My wheel came stock on a kz 1000 ltd 1979, I would think if you tried 6303z you might get lucky and be able to use your stock componets, If you can get wheel bearings local, buy one take it home and try it, think they are around 6.00 what i paid for one, if it dont work you can return it.
you might check out some police versions of these wheels, seems mine uses the same bearings as some of the police bike.
