Is this legit ? I can't get any info off the Kawasaki engine site.

Been using OE 49065-7007 since day 1, now filters I have coming are said to be 49065-0721.
Here's a list of filters that will work,

WIX 57035 32 micron (2.3 tall)
WIX 51056 21 micron (2.7 tall) 51348 (3.4 tall)
WIX 57148 5 micron (3.4 tall)
PH8170

I for one prefer the WIX 57148, Cheers, Ray

Again, it matters very little which filter you use
Mower engines are crude rude & unsofisticated .
All of the specs for them are just about identical
The only real difference is the external size
The only important thing is the internal bypass valve but in most cases you would have to run the engine 10 hours a day 365 days a year for 5 years to totally clog the oil filter to the point that the bypass activates

Have you thought of using a paint pen to mark the hours and date of change on the end of the filter?

Yes Sir, I do that, & I have a log book to record each mow time, & what has been done etc, thru the year, so I have records. Not just my old memory. LOL. ..
