If it's a KZ1000A vs a 1979 LTD, no they are not the same. Kawasaki didn't use A parts on a LTD ever. Length will probably be different and for sure LTD chrome chainguard which is crap will not mount to the plastic chainguard mounts on a 1977 KZ1000A.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

As far as I know The only real difference is that the 1979 swingarm will have 2 bearing on each side and the 1977 will only have one so when doing the conversion make sure you use the swingarm bolt from the 1979. It has a wider machined area.
