So ive had this for awhile now, Finally started to do some real work on it,

got it off a mate who didnt have any welding skill, so was asking mates for help, never really got it how he wanted it

so ive taken it off his hands

its a 1980s KZ440, Rego and wof'd, he got it all re vined, changed the bars, new pipes, tank made a seat and did a half arse rear hard tail section

now the fun really starts, Finally got some steel yesterday and then cut the rear section, leaving the swing arms to keep everything straight,

^ holly shit! bad arse, yeah i love that bike ay, and im not even that big on bobbered inline 4 cyl aswel

stoked i got my hands on a 2 cylinder

and yeah later model ones were stock belt drive, kinda dig it ay

KZs also can out with a 16 inch rear on the chain drive models, keen to see if the cush drive for the chain is the same on a belt drive

but even better is that they came out with wire wheels on the early ones!
