I am in need of a transmission for a 1981 Iron Head Sportster. Thanks, Tim

How many miles are on it?

Clean it up and ride it. GREAT Find!!

Just a Vanson Sport Rider MKII. I bought a Langlitz Columbia new back in 1985. I wore it for ten years all over the world while in the service. Then out grew it and sold it back to langlitz for the same price I paid. $250. I wish I still had it to give to my boys.

Re: 82' KZ440 Brat'Cafe'?: Wiring, seat, final assembly, cables The bike is looking great!!

Looking forward to your project. The picture you posted for your inspiration is killer. I love the old KZ's. I have a 1981 KZ550. Good Luck and have fun with it. Tim

Yep, there is only so much you can do with that seat. Thanks, Tim

No real plans for now. Im just going to ride her for now. I think I will pick up something else to cafe out. I have a line on a KZ1000. I have always had a thing for ELR1000R's. Maybe that will be next. Thanks, Tim

The only thing I have cut on the bike is the rear fender and the little deal that holds keeps the seat from going to far when open. It was broken anyway. The seat pan I cut was an extra one I picked up on e-Bay. I could put her all back to stock tomorrow if I felt the need. She is a great...

...well, the deal is she is such a clean good running low mile bike I hate to cut into her. She Runs great. The carbs have NEVER been messed with. There are still have plugs over the Air/Fuel screws. I have everything to put her back to stock. I think I am just going to ride her the way she...

Re: 82' KZ440 Brat'Cafe'?: Engine in, got a roller, seat next Here is what I have done with my KZ550 ltd seat. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=48777.msg566384#msg566384

I shortened the rear fender and added a "Lucas Style" tail light. Swaped out the LTD 550 badges with KZ550 badges. I have some new bar end mirrors and turn signals to put on as well. I think it is looking better. I wanted the seat lower in the back but it is what it is. Thanks, Tim

Got the new seat on the Old KZ550 Thanks, Tim
