1974 kz400 need some parts!!

Hey guys,


Finally got my '74 '400. I need a complete gasket set, and also, the brackets used to mount the exhaust to the engine. Oh, and a new clutch screw (holds the clutch handle to the bar), new headlight (pref. chrome), new speedomoter & mechanical cable that goes with it.

Whew! is that all you ask? well, that's all I can tell from peeping at it last night. Is there a website for parts, or does anyone have anything for sale?

This is my first bike, and want to use it for a year or so 'till I feel comfortable on a larger bike.


Any input helps, thanks a ton in advance,


K

why z1enterprises.com of course.

You can go to the classifieds section and post your wants or peruse the for sales. Other than that you become an e-bay junkie! It's half the fun! And hopefully less than half the price! Luck!

try www.kz400.com

Welcome!

- The gasket sets can often be found on eBay.

- I may have a spare set of exhaust bracket, I'm not sure. They are also often found on eBay though...

- The clutch handle screw is an odd one. I could get mine and take measurements if you need it, but I don't have a spare of that.

- A caution about the headlight: on the early 400s, the headlight was smaller than 7 inches, about 6 1/8 inch. If you attempt to put a 7 inch on, you will need a bucket and maybe brackets, and you might have to tweak the brackets a bit to get them to work with the narrower forks. I plan to put a 7" on my 400 as well; I bought a light and bucket from a 550 (chrome bucket) and will make my own brackets. Ibsen from kz400.com also has a 7" halogen light, but his is very well disguised as appearing stock.

- The speedo? Back to eBay.

- The speedo cable? Z1enterprises.com or DennisKirk.com, etc. I always buy new when it comes to cables...

Enjoy!
