You can contact them directly and see if they can help you. I've bought parts from them and they're good people.

Let us know what happens. I suspect you might be able to use a pickup and rotor on your plate with a little ingenuity if they don't have the set. Pic of your points setup/

If they have one for the KZ750 twin it should also work on the KZ400/440. From what I remember the factory KZ440 electronic ignition can be retrofit to the KZ750 twin.
There was quite a bit about using the Dyna on the old KZ Twin Owners forum. I think that there was a lot of talk that the kit for the KZ650/750 could be modified to work with the KZ400/440, but I do not remember the details.
Another option is finding and using the factory bits from a KZ440 electronic ignition. They were fit like that from 82 on. They retrofit pretty easily to the earlier KZ400/440s. I have made that change to both my KZ400s.

The ignition plate from a KZ650/750 will bolt up.
But the rotor is not in the right place.
Also the rotor on the KZ650/750 will spin clockwise
and the KZ400/440 will spin counterclockwise.
