rear wire wheel

[Z1streetfighter71]

front wheel turned up today, its in really good condition but does have a small dint in the rim edge. it'll do the job for now.

Looks Sharp

Doubt you'll find much better than that !
Back in the day you occasionally could pick up "dealer take off" parts - taken off new bikes and replaced before sale on account of minor flaws / marks - maybe it's one of those - it would account for the mark on the rim - otherwise it looks brand new !
Have you spotted this rear wheel - crazy shipping price and "replacement" rim but great condition - its got the sprocket carrier - I guess you'll know the Ltd one will not fit. Expensive but maybe a good match ? - some marks on the hub on the boss behind the sprocket carrier....

yeah its a tidy wheel
that wheel from the US is nice but with all the costs getting it over to UK will be high
I now have a wheel sorted, not as tidy as the front but good enough, and you have answered my question about sprocket carriers looks like i'll be looking for one of them as well

[DeadZedDave]

A couple of pics. (Hopefully)
The silver coloured sprocket carrier is the A1/A2 wire spoke wheel type. No other will fit.
Getting hard to find !
you'll need the matching cush drive / shock absorber rubber as well.
The spacers are also different lengths from the ones in the Ltd. wheel

Had a feeling that i might need the carrier as well better get searching thanks Dave.

ive had a look on the bay but all i can find is Z1 Z900 H2, will they fit ?

[DeadZedDave]

No.
The only sprocket carrier which fits is Z1000A1 / A2 (or KZ1000A1/A2) with standard wire spoke wheels - not the optional 7 spoke Mags.
The same sprocket carrier was used on the Z750B TWIN with wire spoke wheels - these wheels were identical to the ones fitted to the Z1000A.
N.B. there is some misleading information on at least one popular parts website which states other sprocket carriers which will fit. The information is WRONG !
Maybe worth a call to the people who sold you the wheel - a couple of pictures of what you need can always help !

Looks right ! Could do with a few more pics but I've dealt with that seller before and they are pretty good. If they say z750B Twin then it'll be right I think. Good price - expensive post but still worth the money. You could do with the spacer bush which sits inside the bearing if they have it..

ok Dave i'll take the gamble, thanks for the info

[Hard Road]

I had 2 plans for the wheels, go down the standard route or fit the bandit wheels/forks and swingarm i already have, I went with the standard look but dam its costing me !!!!! still need a rear tyre and tube and another rear sprocket as ive already converted it to 530 !!!!!
but maybe next year i might change the rims for wider 17inch ones and use the bandit forks and swinger.

[DeadZedDave]

At least you'll get good money if you sell a pair of complete wheel assemblies for a z1000A if you go down the other route !
Meantime I'd put the lottery on..... I cant remember the last time I saw a 750B sprocket carrier for sale - thought they'd all been scrapped in the '80's ....

[DeadZedDave]

b.t.w. just remembered, if I'm not wrong, your Ltd. sprocket will fit the A1 type carrier....
