'82 KZ550 LTD Issues
22 Feb 2011 09:13
Im having a couple of problems with my 550 LTD. First, the left fork seal is leaking. Does anyone know of a detailed how to to take to forks off to change those out and where I could get replacements? Another problem is that the trip meter will not go over 9.9 miles. It just rotates the decimals once it gets up to 9 miles after reseting it. Does anyone know what could be causing this? And last, I would like to find a sissy bar for the bike. Are there any after market bars today that will fit it or do I need to find a bar that was made specifically for the bike?
Thanks for any help!

Sissy bars may be available on eBay...patience will reward you as it may take a while for one to be offered for sale.
There are several members who rebuild speedo units...perhaps one of them will chime in.
