Hey all! I just joined the forum in hopes of finding some answers to suspension swap questions.
My daily ride is a 2003 Honda 919, but I also have a 1983 kz440 ltd that is something of a project bike.
I'd like to put a beefier front end on the 440, but all the front end swaps that I saw on the forum when I searched were for the 650, Z1, or Z1100.
I also want to swap out the swingarm, preferable for a complete KZ650 rear end in order to obtain a rear disc to replace the rear drum of the 440.
The problems I'm going to run into I'm sure are many since the 440 has a single front disk, rear drum brake, and belt drive instead of chain drive.
Any comments, suggestions, etc. are very welcome. I know from reading through the forum that there are some very knowledgeable and experienced members here, so please share your wisdom.

Welcome. I don't seem to remember much about 400/440 mods being discussed. Check in the Archives, as years of posts are in there.
As well, try www.kz400.com
