KZ440 thoughts

As per my intro post I am looking to make a 81 KZ440-A LTD into a slightly cooler 81 KZ440-A LTD. I am thinking a cafe racer set of mods for this little fella. I have a list of things I want to start with. So far it seems the seat will be the hardest thing to do as it seems all the options out there would require me to chop the frame to fit a different seat. Unless anyone has had experience with this model and can make a suggestion.

[list type=decimal]
[*]Clubman Bars
[*]Cafe racer Seat
[*]Reduce and Relocate Signals
[*]Replace Headlight
[*]Bar End Mirrors
[*]Repaint Frame
[*]Remove Tail Light
[*]Add Fender Eliminator
[/list]

Any thoughts of Who, What, Why and where I can do this?

Hey there. Glad to see another KZ on the forum. Take a look at my build thread and you'll see what I've done with my frame to accommodate a cafe style seat without cutting out main bits of frame. It's on a kz250 but the frame would be the same design as your bike.

Admittedly it's not the ideal way to go about it, but it only involves adding in extra tubing to support the seat.
 
This what I did to mine. Just cut the back section and shortened it and made a seat pan to fit.
