Hey Guys !

I was wondering is it possible to swap the 16 inch rear wheel to an 18inch rear wheel of another KZ model ??
If yes from what model should fit and does anyone have for sale ?

Here is the bike :

Welcome to KZR and good luck on the swap! It would be extremely helpful to know the year, model and specs of the bike so that we can give accurate information. Such as my bike, it is a GPz750 1985... but the model designation is ZX750-A3 <<<<< this is what we would need ;)

Matching up the rear brake to the rotor diameter and bolt pattern maybe trade caliper and bracket and stay bar for your swing arm, early 1000 kz is where you should look. What your running now is pretty much one of a kind for that year. Happy hunting pard! Ive just converted to 76 900 ltd. + rear sprocket. Ive decided forget 530 chain. Its just going to be a retiree put put.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYes, you can use a 79-80 Mark II 18" rear.
Any Z1R 18" rear.
I don't know about anything smaller 750-650?
But the others will be a direct swap in and on with same carrier, spacers and disc diameter.
Now you just have to find an 18" rear
Here is a sold one that will work
