Kz440 resurrections

Probably useless post

My buddy has one and had an issue we finally tracked down to a bent rim..

Quick fix do to price used another brand rim and size and swapped the belt pulley for a sprocket..

We call his bike "the thong" he is a big guy and the bike is so skinny and chopped..

Nice Looking Project!!

Thanks Ed. It should be done here by April. I just need to stop that going to that "Work" and it'd be done sooner.

That's a pretty awesome name. You should see my lurpy self go for a ride on these little 440's. I'm pretty sure I have a rim if you want it. Just charge for shipping.

Took these pictures this mornin before heading to work. That seats not staying. I just don't like test rides on bare metal. And it's wired to just run. No lights yet. And I pulled the exhaust off to put on my white bike just to see how it looks so it's loud enough to get attention followed promptly by the middle finger.

Gorgeous looking bike man. I love the simplicity. My only personal change would be to get rid of the chrome on the front fender, with those big beefy looking wheels and tires I'd say a blacked out fender would give it a minimalistic almost no fender look.

Funny you should say that. I was just huntin on eBay and seen a black one off a specter I wanted to buy for that reason. But, I have paint! Anyways thank you.

Exhaust done and wrapped. The gal wanted to take it for the weekend and ended up drag raced a few other bikes and beat the socks off most of them (bobber xs650, 2001 shadow 1100 that was running like a dog, and the frosting was a 1987 Harley 883). Until the policia showed. Figured out tuning a carb and she's dialed in great. Now if I can get it back the bike will have a proper seat.
