KZ750 E1 Spoked wheels? was created by matigipler
Spring is coming! and like everyone i want to get back on my bike! :woohoo:
Ill dive right into the matter i guess.
I wanted to see if there is a set of spoked wheels that i can replace the wheels on my 1081 kz750 E1. this would be the dual disk 19 in and 18in rear (correct me if im wrong on the wheel size)
i looked at some KZ 1000 but those have 16in rear wheels. not sure if the fronts will work either,
what is generally measured on a hub to assure good fitment is also what i tried looking for online and couldn't find.
ill leave a picture of my build so far. :) (seat needs some work...... first time sewing)
anyways. I am not in a hurry as my current wheels don't look bad either. thanks in advance


if there is a existing thread on this matter that i didn't see please direct me to it, as i don't want to create a duplicate

The closest match is probably the 1000-M1/M2 CSR, but the rear is 16" (48-spoke aluminum rims).
For an 18" rear wheel, either a 70s 750-B or 1000-A (40-spoke chrome/steel rims. pretty sure).
The 750E has a 15mm Fr axle. the 750B/1000A axle is 17mm. and the disks are different.

note: the 70s stuff can be different from the newer type 80-on models, such as the 750E, so you'll need to do a lot of comparing beforehand & you may have to come up with spacers to make stuff line up right. ???

I think the axle size difference can be solved by getting the appropriate bearings. I would assume you'd probably want to keep the 750E axles. since you might need to use some other 750E stuff that would be sized for the smaller axles. ???

I like the omage or nod to the Bonneville.
I'm also a fan of spoke wheels.

as Martin mentioned the kz750b wheels or the kz1000A wheels are out there, but they will present some problems as your brake rotors are different which will mean dealing with the whole brake system in addition to the wheels. The easiest way would probably to get the whole front end and swing arm. The forks will fit in your trees, and it would not surprise me if the swing-arm fit with no mods but it could need some spacers or trimming.
