If it's a KZ750 twin engine, your limited to that line of frames. If it's a KZ750 inline 4 engine, any KZ 650/750 frame will work. Even the early air-cooled gpz rubber mount frames.

I don't have a plan and I'm sticken' to it! '77 KZ 650 / 750 GPz custom project in progress

Yes the KZ750 came in two variants. A 2 cylinder and a 4 cylinder. If your bike has four exhaust pipes off the engine, then it's a inline 4. If that is the case, you can use any KZ750 or KZ650 frames stated in the previous post above.

If it is a twin cylinder engine, you will need to locate another KZ750 twin frame.

1980 is the first year of the 750mfour cylinder so any 750 made before then wont work.

also, i believe in 82 they made both, so without the model letter really cant answer if the frames work or not

my bikes; 80kz1000(project), 77 gl1000, 74 h2 (project)
Past; 78 kz1000, 83 kz550

yes there are 4 exhaust pipes and 4 carbs. so any newer than 80 will work?

Any KZ750 frame except the following:

76-79 KZ750B
1980 KZ750G
1982 KZ750M
1983 KZ750K
1984 KZ750K (Canada only for 84).

The above will not work with a 750 four cylinder motor (not without a lot of work anyway).

Is the bike an Ltd or Standard? You can check a 17-digit VIN at Kawasaki.com.
Ltd = Chrome headlight bucket, chain guard & other stuff.

Ltd: the easiest swap to match all of your other parts would be the 80-83 KZ750-H Ltd models or 81-83 KZ650-CSR . Their frames are virtually identical. (note: the 1980 & earlier 650 models are quite a bit different --- your engine would fit, but not a lot of the other stuff).

If it's a 750E Standard the best fit = 80-82 KZ750-E models. And maybe the later standard models: GPzs, 83 750-L3 & 84 KZ700. The 750-H & 650-CSR frames would probably work, but you may have to get some different brackets n stuff for this n that.
