Hi-
     I have a 1976 KZ 750 B1 twin. 
     My question is- Are the sleeve (p/n 42036-1014) and needle bearings (p/n 92046-1115) from the B3 and B4 models a direct fit replacement to my bike
     ( without replacing the swingarm itself. My bike came fitted with the OEM steel bushings and matching sleeves.

   Thanks in advance for any help offered.

When I'm wondering about the cross-compatibility of parts, I look them up on Partzilla and scroll down to the 'Related Fitment' section.

For example, the first part you listed shows the following:

This Kawasaki 42036-1014 SLEEVE,SWING ARM fits the following models and components:

Kawasaki Motorcycle 1979 KZ750-B4 SWING ARM/SHOCK ABSORBERS
Kawasaki Motorcycle 1976 KZ750-B1 SWING ARM/SHOCK ABSORBERS
Kawasaki Motorcycle 1977 KZ750-B2 SWING ARM/SHOCK ABSORBERS
Kawasaki Motorcycle 1978 KZ750-B3 SWING ARM/SHOCK ABSORBERS
Kawasaki Motorcycle 1980 LTD II - KZ750-G1 SWING ARM/SHOCK ABSORBERS

Agree with all said.  As an aside you can pull down a parts list which shows the same info from here kz750twins.com/?p=418

Thanks for the help. That's a good method that I've actually used before. I don't know why I didn't think of it this time!
If you want to see my bike look at the last 2 (most recent) pics in the 750 twin gallery. Since I posted them I have fitted a LTD front fender painted to match- 
and a new seat from Texavina- looks like stock but better- and gets rid of the chrome strip around the bottom.

How about posting a pic here?

Looks Nice ,I like it.
I am building a 77 KZ1000 now and was thinking about doing what you did, Painting the rear fender black and the front body color.
 Thanks Now I know how that looks.

 

Same here! I agree! Nice build and paint! You pass my Muster Test! I would like to see some black Mulholland rear or Sportster progressive black shocks on back.
I've drilled a lot of disc's. I never thought of the small holes by the rivets.
I too have a Z1 swing arm, bronze bushing question.
I'll start another thread.
You do nice work!

Thanks for the kind words. As for the shocks- I just installed a set of Ikon Basix- chrome bodies with black springs-
A noticeable improvement  over the old OEM units and they look good too!
