Yeah, good deal, but are they actual 1979 kz750 mags???

The seller wasn't 100% positive, but I bought them anyway.

the 79 twin never came with mags. however if that is the 19" front wheel it should bolt right up. is the rear a 16"? its hard to tell in the pics but it looks like it. When i switched my 1000 from mags to spokes i found the 16" mag was wider at the hub and needed different spacers than the 18"spoked rear, which is the same wheel the 750 twin had stock. You may need to pick up the spacers for mags, and possibly the rear caliper for the mag if you plan on running that disk, as it is different size/offset than the stock 750t disk.

Yes and no. From what I've read, Morris Mags made a kit for the 1979 kz750 that dealers would install. They are pretty rare but a few members here have them. The mag kit was 19" front and 16" rear.

I was hoping someone could look at the pictures and tell me if they are indeed the right ones. I'll find out soon enough.

Better late than never.

Kawasaki sold a Morris Mag kit for the 750 twins through their dealers. The only thing 750 twin specific is the adapters bolted to each wheel. If you or a friend have a lathe you can easily make those adapters to mate the wheels to about any bike. I have an extra set of front wheel adapters for a Morris Mag, and the set currently on my bike that I bought NIB (with 750 twin specific instruction sheet) on eBay.

I'm swapping my Morris Mags out for a set of KZ1000B Enkei 19"/16" mag wheels that I bought some time ago, because I just never got comfortable with the lack of a cush hub.
