Hello from Finland
26 Dec 2019 23:40 - 27 Dec 2019 19:54
Hi!
I recently bought my self a KZ440 ltd to build a cafe racer. The bike came with some bent exhaust valves, now I have got the engine running and took the bike a part to start modifying the frame. I might do post about the build but for now I will just post some pictures here of the progress I have done.
I am new with motorcycles but I have a fair amount of experience with vintage Citroen 2cvs.

Hello Elsebu,
Welcome to KZRider! I wish you success with your 440 Cafe project.
May I suggest that you not use PhotoBucket for your images. I've found that, over time links to external images often fail/expire, leaving the threads lacking content. You're welcome to upload them to KZR as you post.
One suggestion about uploading attachments. Don't use your "Back" button while composing your message.
Regards
Bill
