Dear all,
Thanks for your kind reading.
I have frame and machine of KZ550C 1981, plan to build a cafe-racer.
Pls help to share :
1. Using wire harness of KZ550 to install to my KZ550C ?
2. Any one have used parts of KZ550C, I would like to buy to Vietnam.
Hope to hear from you soon. I have a friend who will return Vietnam from US by next 2 weeks.
Thanks

Are you good at wiring? Can you get new automotive wire in various colors and gauges? If yes, then it may be better to re-wire using new wires. The used harness will have weak spots in it, and they will be difficult to locate. For a cafe, you will probably want minimal wiring (ignition, charging system, headlight, tail light, brake light). I can draw up a custom diagram for that.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
Pls share your wire diagram of cafe style in KZ 550. I will do and see.

By the way, I also have Zephyr 750, but can not identify the year of production.
My bike has special case - without frame / machine code.
I just find 3 facts : rear wheel xxx 97 DOT, front wheel xxx 00 DOT, and Oil tube shows xxx 97.
So is it 2000 version or 1997 version.
Thanks
Huy
