If my Morris on my MK II start to come apart, I might have to adapt the extra GSXR1100 wheels I have for my GSXR750 LTD.
That post was from 2016. Seems like maybe it's time to dig out those GSXR wheels?
Of course, gazing at your KZ1000 parked in the living room doesn't sound so bad.

Took a number of years to reach that number, but it finally did!!!!
Thanks to all the members that left me such great comments over the years. I hope all who read through my thread enjoyed it.
Its been since Oct. 17th of last year that someone posted any comments.
Going to try to hit a few more vintage bike shows with it this year.
I hope I get to meet some more KZR members at some of these future bike shows!!!!

I need to know if the front disc rotor bolt pattern on the GSXR front wheel is the same as the one on the Morris Magnesium front wheel. I thinking about getting a set of the replica S1 style from rotors and AP brakes, and I want to keep my GSXR 18" wheels.
Thanks

A friend sent me a photo of my '80 Kz750E that I raced back in '81 to '83.
Believe this photo was shot at Blackhawk Farms sometime in those three years. Might even be Grattan Raceway up in Michigan.
Not sure anymore. Old age has set in!!!!!
