Interchangeable Parts

EthanKZ750 · 01-10-2009

Hey everyone, got a tech question again. I have a 79 KZ750 B4. I have become aware that alot of parts are 100% interchangeable between several models/years. I would like to know which cosmetic parts are interchangeable, specifically the rims and seats.

Try at www.kawasaki.com I understand it might be a bit of a search but the info is there.

tough call there: most of the changes were cosmetic, and required changes to the frame to do them. I have 7 different models in my bike mechanically, all of the way up to 07-ish.

On the other hand, there are many who have updated their wheels and suspension to very modern parts. It took fabrication, but not as much as you might think. Tanks I would think are very interchangeable, most mount the same way. Side panels and tails though, they can differ from year to year.

Wheels? I'd say up to '85, although I am betting that the ZR-7 wheels would work on my GPZ. Spokes to mags or back would not be hard within the guidelines of drivetrain and diameter.

Hi, not sure if you want only the rim or the entire wheel assembly. I have a parts program and this is what it says (I would verify the information by checking parts schematics) for the entire wheel assembly and seat assembly.

Part # = 41074-047

If you get me a part # I can see what the program says but, I'm not vouching for the information, like I said I always double check. So far it's been right for me. Hope this helps.

thanks to all of you, i am capable of fabricating all of my parts if need be so thats no trouble there. as far as the cometics go, im really just interested in the seats, mines flat but i would like the one with a raised rear for the passenger. As far as the wheels go, i want the mags, love them, ill look into the part number asap and see if you can help Av8girl.
