I know there was a thread about wheel fitments/swapability, as well as max tire widths. I've just gave up after the 8th page on "forum search" and getting side tracked by other interesting threads in there.
What Ive got- 80 kz440a swing arm.
What I want to do- 18" spoked w/Rear disc
Relacing, spacers and mounting are not a problem.

Also. What material brake pads are the really mellow riders using now a days? Same bike but with gpz1100 cals and rots fitted? Should I stay away from HH sintered?
Thanks in advance KZR!

If you yourself are building an older bike and can see it through till you're riding it, that's proof you have patience.

The only models I can think of that have an 18" spoked rear wheel w disk brake are the 750B Twins & 77/78 1000A.
The 70s 650B & KZ900A have a Rr drum brake. all of these models are 40-spoke w steel rims. pretty sure.

The other models that I'm familiar with or checked either have a 16" rear wheel or drum brake or both. some examples:
400B 18" spoked w drum. 650-CSR 16" spoked w drum. 1000-CSR 16" spoked w disk. the CSRs are 48-spoke w aluminum rims.
