Tires

18" tires for the 175/200 and smaller bikes are pretty easy to find, but 19" for the 350 are harder to find -- especially the rear.

Kings Tire has inexpensive ribbed front KT-922 and block rear KT-918 in 19", very much like the original tires on the 350. These are good for an original look.

Avon Tire makes a front/rear combo in 3.50 X 19" in their SpeedMaster MkII series. The front is a rib design similar to original.

If you can find them in stock, the 3.25/3.50 X 19" Metzler Laser ME33 CompK (soft) front with a Metzler Perfect ME77 rear provides a great hi-performance combination.

Interchange

	The fuel petcock from a 1975 Kawasaki Z1B (51023-055) is a close match to the 175/200 & 350. An similar alternative is a Kawasaki Z900A4 (51023-1021).
	An alternative petcock source is Harley Davidson up to about 1995. Drag Specialties (makes aftermarket Harley parts) Part Number DS-390-218 (L-style petcock replacement for OEM part 62166-81. This petcock is smaller than the BS stock part and is chromed so it makes a nice appearance. One difference is that it has one fuel outlet instead of two, so you have to use a "T" or "Y" connection to split the flow to two carbs.
	Flamboyant Red paint is a close match with 1989 GM (General Motors) Brilliant Red Metallic, GM Code: 68, Dupont Code: B8947, base coat, clear coat.
	Silver parts (fork tubes, etc.) have a close match in PPG Silver Poly #1435.
	175, 200, 350 ignition points interchange with Kawasaki A-1 and A-7, which all use Kokusan Denki alternators (EN-06, EN-09, EN-11)
	Kawasaki KZ1000 ignition parts reportedly also fit the 175-350: Points, 21008-27, 21008-28; Condenser, 21013-035; Felt Brush, 21019-005.
	NGK spark plug designations in the manuals that have an H suffix are equivalent to HS suffix.
	Kawasaki A-1 and A-7 Mikuni VM26-SC carburetors are very similar too with many interchangeable parts
	The Kawasaki F-7 speedometer cable (54001-032) will replace the 350 speedometer cable.
	The Kawasaki H2 speedometer cable will replace the 350 tachometer cable.
	The 22mm X 30mm X 5mm seal behind the dry clutch inner hub on the 350 can be substituted with a CR8503 or Suzuki Part Number 09283-22018 both of which are 1mm thinner but will work.
	The 47mm X 60mm X 7mm seal behind the dry clutch on the 350 can be substituted with a CR18447.
	The BS50 magneto is reportedly the same as an early 60's Suzuki M10, M 12, M 15 , K 10 & K11
	Steering head ball bearings (38), and the clutch actuator rod ball bearing (1), are all standard 0.250"
	The battery band for the 90-350 models is similar to the Kawasaki KE100, part number 92072-1044.
	The large engine cushions for the 350 can be made by cutting in half Yamaha swing arm bushings, part #102-22123-00.
