Lester Mag Wheels. Model Swap?

Does anyone know if 19 front 18 rear Lester Mags from a 1977 Kawasaki KZ650 will fit a 1977 KZ1000 or 1977 KZ 1000LTD?

Why they made LTD's I dont know. So damn ugly!

18" rear lesters I think would be hard to find pard. It wasn't in style back in the olden days. I bought my 900 in 76 because I didn't want a spaghetti bowling ball, and was tired of walking because of my 64 police pan. It was definitely a Money taker and a fart breaker.

Well Ed, I think that pic you posted is one NICE looking bike! I wish my 81 had that duckbill tail section.

Dave, what seat are you referring to? I went to Z1E web site and only had seat latches pop when I searched the term "seat". I like my stock seat, but new and different is sometimes appealing too if I can keep my butt planted when I turn this animal loose. :-)

The Z1Ent seat I was reffering thttps://www.z1enterprises.com/seat-assembly-complete-z2-z1-w-strap.htmlo will not fit 81s. Fitment ends at 1980
Currently out of stock , but Nice look .
Les Holt has one I have checked out in person . Very nice lines and shallow dip to hold you in place

I like that seat. I assume it won't fit because of the duckbill rear section. Not to hijack this thread, I posted a new topic about adding in the duckbill on a J bike.

LOL, now that's funny. I fail to see the connection, but still funny. :-D

Not to worry, by the time you get done with your "improvements", this will be the only thing on my LTD that you might catch a glimpse of.
