Spoke rear wheel with disc options?
18 Jan 2019 20:40
I'm swapping the mags on my 80 kz1000 to spokes.
Having trouble finding a rear rim with disc.
Any other models fit? Cruiser? Dirt? Honda ,yamaha or suzuki?
Anyone selling one?

Probably the KZ1000-A. 19" Fr & 18" Rr. 40-spoke w steel rims. I think the 750B wheels are similar.
I don't know about the fitment, but maybe the 81-82 KZ1000-M1/M2 CSR. 19" Fr & 16" Rr. 48-spoke w aluminum rims.
What KZ1000 do you have?

I have a 80 kz1000 ltd.
I found one rear on flea bay but the shipping cost is way too much.
Didn't think it would be so hard to find.

In general some parts for the Z1/900/1000 are probably harder to find & more expensive than the smaller models, because the Big Kaws are more valuable & command higher resale prices. but I really don't know that much about the bigger KZs. I wanted to refurbish the wheels on my 650-CSR, but it was going to cost too much. ss spoke sets alone were over $125 per wheel. If I had a 1000-CSR, it would have been worth the cost.

I'm picking up? Your not in the USA? Wider rear you need wider swingarm. The GS1100 Suki is a good swap. will handle 160 / 180 if pulled back on chain adjusters.
Plus an offset sprocket.
But Cheap parts! Believe it or not Harley! 18" x 5" x 180 wide wheel with 530 chain size which would help with clearance. disc brake, which you have.
I built this about 6 yrs ago when I lived in a different house. Sold it out of State.
Nothing like a wide wheel on an old Kaw

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration18" disc hubs are hard to find for the KZ1000, only made them 2 years 77-78.
Find a hub, Buchanan spokes sells all the spokes you want 16" OR 18"
And rim rings.
Or if your financially loaded? $5,000 can but this set up! both wheels and swingarm, discs etc. it's on a FB site.
This guy uses Harley hubs, 5 hole pattern, same as disc side.

700 Dollar for a single rim, insane!!!
I think about i could sale my both AKRONT wheels (5.75 x 18 /3.50 x 18) for 700 Euro.
I have to resit to thought about it.....
Some pics of my bike more than 10 years old...

I have a 80 kz1000 ltd.
So It's a KZ1000-B4 Ltd. correct? just making sure. Since there was an 81 K1, it kinda helps to mention that it's a B4 to avoid any confusion. sometimes the model yr & date of mfg get mixed up. the earlier & later 1000 Ltd models are very different from each other.![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png)

I found and bought a rear spoke rim off flea bay for $150. $90.00 +shipping and got screwed. The hub where the bearing is is broken off.
