looking at the wear pattern on the rotor, seems someone put the wrong rotor on his bike before he got it. Not knowing any differently, he thought that was they way it was supposed to be. so the forks could be right, just with the wrong rotor. so even if he did sell you his forks, and you used your calipers, the rotor would still be too small. have him measure the distance from the center of the axle hole to the center of the first caliper mounting bolt. it's probably the same measurement you have, so changing the forks would not help you any. easier to get the right rotors than to start swaping everything else.
maybe get the vin from his bike and put it into buykawasaki.com and you will know which bike he is pulling parts from??
of course maybe the 79 1000 ltd is what he has. you probably need to have someone with the same bike 79 1000 ltd measure their equipment
and there are different part number between the 79 ltd and your bike for the rotors. lots to look at, but maybe hold off on blaiming the guy for misrepresenting his wares.
