Hey all, I have finally joined. Name is David and I live in a little town called Enumclaw in PNW (USA). Great forum and I've learned a lot in a short time I've been lurking.
Last summer I bought non running 82 kz440 ltd. Think I had a good deal on it. Got it running and started turning it into little bobber. Not a big project, nothing fancy, reusing and modifying as much as I can and spending $$ only where I really have to.
So, few pics what she looked like when I got her and then couple of pics what she looks like now. Hoping to get a lot more info on this forum as I need it.

David

I've always heard chopping the back off and not looping/reconnecting can cause handling issues. 83 KZ1100A (shaft) 17 Versys X 300 abs 81 kz650h1 81 kz750e2 90 Honda CBR600F (brother's)

Anyways, it handles great and is so light compare to my big bike...I love riding it the way it is now and having no issues David
