So i keep buying more and more things to do this mod, i have a 1978 kz750 twin and want to put mags and dual disk from a 1980 kz750 ltd on it.

so far i have acquired the wheels, spacers, rear caliper bracket, rear and front calipers, looks like the rear axle diameters are differedn though, is ther eanything else i'm missing?

The dual and single disks on the 650/750/1000 are the same diameter, but dual disks are thinner.

The best way to install 750E wheels on a 750 twin is to install the 750E front end and swing arm on the 750 twin. Second best way it to have some collars made that slide over the axle and act as spacers because both front and rear axles on the 750E are smaller than those on the 750 twin.


My first dual disk conversion used two 750 twin single disk rotors, lots of rotating weight there, I wouldn't recommend that set-up :P

yes i have both front and rear disks for the 750e, i was thinking maybe i could get away with replacing just the rear axle. I havent mocked it up to see how the width of the wheel fits the 750b swingarm yet but we will see i guess

my wheels are actually from a kz700 but from what i have found
they are the same as the 750e wheels.
