Hello,
After over thirty years without a bike, I recently found a 1984 KZ 440 ltd in good overall condition that needed a little work. I am now waiting for a front drive pulley to arrive in the mail so that I can get the little bike moving again. Should make a great winter project--can't wait to start riding again.
All the best, Jeff

Thanks Steve,
She definitely looks better than when I got her--the whole clutch side of the engine was in pieces in a box. Luckily all the parts were there except one screw for the drive pulley cover.
All the best, Jeff

That's a paint job I don't recall ever seeing. I like it. B) If that's the factory paint, I'd stick with it...not everyday you see that. Most LTD 440's get rattled canned black.

I think I'd have to get lower bars though.

Thanks, and yes that is factory paint. As for the bars, I like them so far, but time will tell. :)
