| Post subject: | KZ1000 Front Mag |
1981 Kawasaki KZ1000 front wheel in great shape. May very well be the ticket for a mag conversion (H series) Has a nice double disc setup too. Axle as well. Front end was (I believe) specific to the '81 model with air assist front forks. I may be wrong but it was the only one I found with the air valve forks. If someone can use a really nice set of forks, I also have them and the triple trees. PM me if interested. Attachment: 01616_gxM5G5DVLp5_600x450.jpg

For LTD/CSR models, leading axle front end. As with most of those early mags for tubeless, best to use a thin bead of silicone seal in the wheel bead to help seal tire to the rim bead when going tubeless. KZ1100 and KZ1300 had worse issues with beads leaking air. Sealed up, my KZ1300 doesn't leak air at all. Good wheel. |

I haven't checked yet, but I am guessing these KZ forks would slide right in to an H series triple tree. I like the air over oil shock setup too. Top triple tree clamp has the handle bar clamps molded in to it. Not separately mounted with rubber like the triples were. |

Just my preference, I'd disable the air system, all that I have ever seen is blown fork seals from added air pressure. The only reason the air is there, is to compensate for heavier riders, and that should be done by different fork springs, but, no reason to not use this front end. Those triple clamps are almost zero offset, that is to compensate for the leading axle, not bad, very workable stuff. Done right, they should work great on an H series chassis. |
