My second motorcycle, my first project

Hey guys! I'm a fairly new (within the last 4 years) motorcycle enthusiast here. I have a 2016 Yamaha TW200 and I just bought my first project bike for my 43rd birthday. It's a 1981 Kawasaki KZ440 LTD. It's currently not running and needs lots of TLC but I figure the $400 I paid for it will be well worth the education if nothing else. I'm looking forward to digging in to this thing and hopefully bringing it back to life. I think this site is going to be a great resource.

Welcome. The 440 is a nice bike. Lots of possibilities. Belt drive or chain drive?
