What model calipers are these

[Grumpy27]

These Are on my bobber ,they don't look like the normal xs calipers,anyone have any idea ,or am I just being thick
Thankyou.

I can't say. The rotor, rim and forks don't look like XS parts either.

Is there an easy way of finding out what parts are used as ive just bought the bike and in the process of stripping her for a tidy up
Thanks

You started out ok by asking about it. Looking at pics of Xs650's will help. You will learn what XS650 parts look like.
Maybe some one who has a better guess than mine will see this and give us a better idea of what you have.

I've used google images and not the same at all
I suppose that's the downside of buying a bike someone else has done ,especially if a list of parts used doesn't come with it .

Hopefully someone wil know or my local bike shop who's gonna do some work on her might have a clue
Thanks for your help

I agree they aren't XS parts at all.

This link has a comprehensive Model year by year Brochures and pics.

I believe are Kawasaki KZ forks and brakes. They were 35 mm on the 650's.

I would also say KZ, this caliper is off a '78 KZ650 and it is the same as the one on my '76 KZ1000.
The bleed nipple is in a different place but the caliper mostly looks the same as the one you have.

Thanks for your help guys ,would you say discs and forks probably of the same model


This is my rear wheel any idea on this

 

[XSLeo]

Probably came from the same bike as the front wheel. It has 40 spokes. The XS650 used 36 spokes on most years. The last few years they used a 48 spoke rear and 64 spoke front.
I think most of the other Jap bikes used 40 spoke wheels.

It's a 16 inch and the fronts a 19 ,if that helps
Thanks guys

I make those calipers out to be approx '76- 78 Kawasaki, could be KZ650, kz900 or even Kz1000. They are after '75. Disks look of same make and era.
Rear wheel hub could be kZ650.Most bikes went to rear disk around 1978.
