1980 KZ440B project was created by glennlives
So I got this bike last november for $100 completely stock no title but in decent shape (didn't run), and got about 50% of it done on my own but with starting up grad school I handed it off to a friend to finish the wiring, some fab work, and the custom exhaust which is still to come. I learned a lot during the process being that I knew nothing about motorcycles until I started this project. It's based loosely off a Kawasaki 238 green streak aesthetic. Also imagine the tank seating about 2" lower once the bracket underneath is removed.

Beautiful bike!
I love the shiny bits and the way the tank is sitting up there. Sorta looks like a Harley peanut tank the way is mounted.
Will look forward to more updates

Looks great, that exhaust is awesome.
What kind of battery is that?

The 440 is never a bike I've had a big urge to own - until now, I love that scrambler/flat track look and it looks like you've really nailed the look with what you have so far
