Well, somebody has to live here. On the upside, I just acquired this 1981 KZ440B as a Winter project. It's in decent shape, and should be "relatively easy" to make roadworthy. I've had a bunch of bikes, and done one restoration: 1976 RD350 (cafe conversion actually). I even owned a KZ440LTD back in the 80's, so kind of know the engine.

Welcome from just down US 77 on the Kansas side. That's a nice looker. The 440B models seem to be rather scarce as the Ltd models are much more common.

Yep. She was assembled in Japan. I suppose "Made in Japan" should have been a clue.
