I probably should have posted here first but I have just listed a double disk kit on eBay that I have lugged around the world for the past 45 years. I bought it in 1976 when i bought my KH500 but never installed it.

Be aware that the KH caliper and H1/H2 caliper are not interchangeable.

You know I've carted this stuff around for years and I never knew, Like I said I bought it from the Kawasaki dealership in Huddersfield England in 1976 for my KH and this what they delivered. Even bikebandit's and kawasakipartsnation's sites have a six bolt rotor on their fiche.

BTW did the UK KH500 have the 6 bolt rotor and the US one have 4 bolt bacause every picture from the UK shows a 6 bolt rotor as in

Anyway thank's I'll change it on ebay.

the bike in your photo is a '75 H1f, not a KH500.

All KH500's worldwide received an updated front end, with parts closer matching to the KZ line of bikes which were just about to take over for the triples.

Online Microfiche's are seldom 100% accurate. I cant tell you how many times Ive seen a part listed for '69-'76 Kawasaki H1, when it indeed only fits one or two model years.

Regardless.. You've got some SUPER COOL PARTS there. Good Luck with the Sale! :thumbup:

it's not really a complete kit for anything, the pictures are pretty poor as well,(as in, it doesn't show the contents or part numbers) - (I am not being snitty here :wave: ) The only person that will buy it is someone that will re-sell it individually, as is correctly pointed out the disc is a 6 bolt Z1, H1 & H2 unit - if it has a good date code then that could fetch $300+ alone, master cyl $250, pipes (again date coded) $140, mounting bolts Etc - ALL good stuff and Individually I suspect close on $1,000 - as a "Kit" that won't fit anything in particular :thumbdown: It may struggle to get the $500.
