Will the above rim fit my front wheel?

Hi Ady
it depends on what type of Kawasaki you have... a Z1, Z1A, Z1B should have a Takasago rim with the code 303 in it.
A (K)Z900 A4-A5, Z1000A1, Z1000A2 should have a Takasago rim with the code 305 in it. The code denotes the angle of the spokes which in his turn depends of the diameter of the wheelhub... Let's hope for you you took the right decision.
The dimensions stated at the top of your topic are correct, these will fit a Kawasaki Z1 to Z1000 front wheel but that's only the dimension of the rim...how many holes are in the Suzuki 750 rim? There are more things to take in account!

Yours is a Z1A from memory - 1.85 X 19 inch rim is the right size.

Just confirming what Philippe has already said - unless it is stamped 303 the spoke angles will not be right.

Good luck Adrian.

If it's this one, do not buy -

Thanks guys, useful as ever.
No, I didn't buy
Now the 303 numbers make sense. Been offered a rim from 1977, better look at the 303 bit, probably a A4 rim
