Are these close enough? Likely much cheaper than oem.

Several choices here, just be absolutely sure that the ones you look at are in fact for the1979 - 80 MKll, GPz, et cetera

Looked at these. Hadn't checked out Japan webike. Looks like their prices may be a bit more than I'm willing to spend. Although, they do have some pretty cool stuff! Trying to keep the front end parts cost within my budget. (I know....there is no such thing as a "Budget" where old motorcycle restorations are involved....)If you need the 41080-1022, Partilla says they ship in 3-4 days. Maybe they lie. Could be worth a call.

Partzilla shows this part was used on the '79 and '80 K1000A (MK2), KZ1000B (LTD), KZ1000C (police), KZ1000D3 ('80 Z1R), and KZ1000G1 ('80 classic). It was also used on the 1980 KZ650-E1, F1, and KZ750-G1.
Put that number into Ebay, and you get many hits.
This one is $63: ebay.com/itm/265391659725
This one is $30: ebay.com/itm/333610351246
This one is $35: ebay.com/itm/402772513561
The original rotors for you bike are not that rare, they came on all the KZ1000 models for '79 and '80. Swapping the forks, wheel, brakes, and rotors from a 750 is going to cost you a lot more money and time than just waiting a little while for a decent set of the correct 41080-1022 part to show up on ebay.

Unless you have a 750 donor bike already on hand, those rotors are bound to be cheaper and MUCH easier.I'm aware of the different thicknesses. Was looking for the total width for rotors, outer side to outer side when mounted on the wheel. Trying to determine if I could use a 750E front wheel with current MK2 calipers. I understand there will be some engineering involved. If nothing else, I will likely use outer 750E fork tubes and calipers along with the 750E front wheel. Wheel is the same size so ride geometry shouldn't be compromised - and end up with better brakes, albeit not totally stock looking.
Thank you for the feedback!

The comment about 8 vs 9 rivets is interesting. It looks like the second eBay link I posted is probably not correct for the kz1000 (only 8 rivets), but the first and third links look like they are probably correct.
