Between the xs 650, xs750 triple, cb750 sohc, and the cb550, what would be the best handling of the 4? Outside of these 4 are there better choices for a 70's umj? Many thanks.

While examining my KZ 400 project I have found a defect on the left down tube of the frame. Almost as it was struck by a hot iron and slighty gouged. Is this a problem that would compromise the frames integrity? Is it something that can be over looked or repaired? Thanks

I am beginning to do a rebuild of an early model kz 400 and that requires a total engine rebuild and was wondering if I could use this opportunity to either slap a kz440 top to the bottom end or over bore the stock 400 head. The easy way could be just putting in a 440 engine but I really...

I am starting to work on my KZ 400 project and I was thinking of putting a front drum brake in place of its factory equipped disk. What would the performance difference be? Should I just use the stock wheel off of the "budget" kz400 model or should I go with a beefier front drum setup, or should...

Ok so about 4 years ago I bought an old KZ 400 for a song, it was my first bike in fact and as a youthful 18 year old I thought that even with my non existent mechanical skill that this "simple" project would be done in less than a month. Well soon after I found a xs400 on craigslist for $100...

It has been a long time since I posted here, busy traveling in and out if Japan for the last two years. I am finally trying to get two old projects up and going. The first one I want to get done abd over is the gren kz on the left, but unfortunately it has a seized engine. Instead of going...

I know this isn't what is typically posted here but if you are selling, know of a person who is selling a sidecar full rig or otherwise I am in the market for one. Preferably looking for a dnepr, Chang Jiang, BMW, etc or a sidecar that will fit a kz400. Many thanks.

Looking for some 70's kz parts, currently looking for a titled Kz400 frame (even in pieces as long as it is titled, all is well), 1974-79, Petcock, 1974-76, and various other parts. So please pm away if you have any. Many thanks!!!

I have a little situation, I bought a 75 KZ400 last summer with the hope of restoring it, the problem is that the previous owner never got it registered in his name so it is still in the owner before him's name all the way from 1985 (checked records and the bike wasn't stolen from the owner...
