Compatibility betwee KZ750E and H??

Hi all,

I am looking for parts for my 1980 KZ750 LTD (H1) but seems like I can find more parts for the E than the H. Are they compatible for each other?

Thanks!

Engine and electrical parts should be interchangeable. Anything body related (tank, seat, side covers, forks, etc.) will be different.

Basing this on the differences between the KZ650 H1 (CSR) and the other 650 models, don't really have any experience with the 750 although I'd assume it's pretty much the same deal.

That's strange normally it is the other way around since Kawasaki sold a lot more of the H models. A few things that are unique to your bike is the tach which has a voltmeter built in, that was only used in 1980 and the 2 piece seat was only used in 80 and 81. What sort of parts are you looking for?

That's what confuse me the most. On their web site they said no. But on Z1 and serveral other sites say yes:ohmy:

Always listen to Jeff's advice on Z1Enterprises...he'll know what can be substituted whereas Kawasaki will tell you only if it is absolutely identical.
