Looks like the person will part it out. Seems like there's original Morris Mag's on the bike. Aren't they hard to get? Already got a pair so I don't need them. pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/341179788.html 1976 KZ900LTD Fully Restored 2000 Vulcan FI Classic 1998 Ducati ST2, Gone

Well, for what they are, they are somewhat light (minus the tire). I spent quite some time refurbing mine. Have heard or read stories where some individuals have had Morris look alikes made at considerable costs because original Morris Mags are so hard to find. Talking $several hundred$ If I were interested I would certainly see if they would ship. Who knows, $50 shipping and $50 for the wheels if they don't know the value? From the pic, they definitely look like Morris.

I believe those are Enkei mag wheels too.
IIRC, in the early 80's Kawi started coughing up the extra cash to have these types of wheels cast with the "Kawasaki" name on them rather than the "Enkei" name.
The wheels on my '84 ZN700 have production casting marks and "Kawasaki" on them, which are fairly similar to the casting marks (but "Enkei") that are on my '77 KZ650C wheels.

Covina, So Calif!
