Which KZ550 do I have? was created by JonZweifel

I know it sounds dumb but im still pretty new to motorcycles/kz's

I wanted to check out what Z1 Enterprises had for my bike but when I went to the models it had three different 1982 KZ550's

My options are:

KZ550 A3
KZ550 C3
KZ550 H1

How about a better pic than what we must assume is your bike in the avatar pic?

It's most like a "C", possibly a chopped up"A", but not an "H".

C=LTD or cruiser-type model
A=Standard model KZ
H=GPz550

'80 Z750fx
'81 KZ550A
'81 GPz550's, Too many!
'82 KZ1000R
'82 GPz750
'90 ZR550

The chrome headlight brackets and the 16" rear wheel are "C" items. The "A" has blk brackets and an 18" Rr wheel. Motor and carbs are the same. I think that the "C" forks may be a little longer also. This is a pic of an "A" model
