I want to replace the old shocks on my bike. It would be nice to drop it a bit, but I want to keep the rear fender. I can't find a spec on what the stock shock sizes are, and I see places like dimecity and ebay have a few different options. Anyone have some recommendations? I would like to start...

I saw dimecity has mikuni carbs prejetted for 440s. I would like to replace my stock carbs with these and put on some nice air filters instead of the oem box on it too. This should be an easy swap yea? Where can I find nice air filters for it and will they clear my battery or am I going to have...

I've been wanting to get a loud horn for my bike. I am very ignorant when it comes to electricity, but I asked a friend and he said most truck or boat horns are 15 amps while most motorcycle batteries are only 12 amps, so it wouldnt work. I'm having a hard time searching for horns by amps, I...

I really like the look of vintage tires, but I heard things like Firestone Deluxe are garbage. I was checking out Modern production vintage tires like Dunlop k81, K70s and IRC GS-11s and those look great. Does anyone have any more recommendations or comments on these tires? I'd also like to get...

The PO told me he had a problem with the speedometer where it would twist the cable up. I shrugged it off since he wasn't very reliable and put a new one on today. Sure enough, it didn't work and when I took it off I noticed that the end that goes into the drive had twisted and snapped off...

I painted my clutch lever on my kz440. I yanked the cable with needlenoses to get it off since it didnt have much slack even after adjusting the adjusted by the lever. Now it doesn't have any grip when I go to squeeze the clutch. I took off the final drive cover to see what was going on. How do...

It's a work in progress. Not quite going the cafe racer route with it per say, but I've been getting a lot of inspiration looking at cafes and bobbers. It's my first bike. So far all I've done is put drag bars on it, new megaphones, and cleaned it up a bit. Recently had the carbs cleaned, master...

I'm looking for an analog speedo/tacho. Preferably a combo, but I'm up for anything interesting looking. I want something unique--If no one pushes me in the right direction I fear I'll end up with those small tacho and speedo that mount to your handlebars that everyone has... Thanks!

just picked up a new 7" headlight bucket for my kz440. The headlight in it now is pretty dim. I was looking at the 20 buck h4 conversions on jcwhitney. Do they wire the same as the old 12v light? I'm an idiot when it coes to anything eletrical. I see the hondas have a problem supplying power to...

I have a 1980 kz440 that has the 7" headlight bucket with side mounts that go to the fork. I've been wanting to replace it with a long style headlight bucket and then maybe slap a visor on it. I found a headlight I light but it has a mount on the bottom. I was looking at my fork and I'm not sure...
