Wanted, Lester Rear wheel 18inch, drum to suit Z1b.

You and me both, an 18" rear just sold on US ebay for £900 and that was a low price these days. The LTD set up was a more common one with the rear being 16".

Had seen yours, was hoping for a miracle and you’d been offered more than 1
See loads of 16’.
Keep hunting.
I have a 6 bolt front.

same, i have the 6 and the 4 front and the 16" rear, i would love a set on my Z1b but i think it might just get to the point of a full resto on them and sell them on the "bay" to some Japanese chaps as thats where they all are by now...

[Z1streetfighter71]

A set sells in Japan theses days for around £2000.. insane money but they are like gold over in Japan.

Oh well it will remain my garage wall ornament for the foreseeable.

A thought.
Wonder what it would cost to have one machined, could use a 16 as template and just lengthen spokes
Maybe a few could be cheaper.

There is a softer option.. there is a z750/650 drum rear for sale in the US, here it is..

It would require a 650 drum and sprocket carrier, the 650 had smaller drum size so you would be sacrificing a bit of brake efficiency the dry weight of the 650 is 465lb vs the Z1 is 507lb.

Theres a set on jauce at 800
Thought all the zed heads were putting there bikes back to standard? Personally I'd just fit a early gpz11 with a disc set up

Thanks both, will wait, not in a hurry have the rest of my life and will probably need it
