150/80-16 in the back

Tires from http://www.motoxoutlet.com/

Most if the plans are maintence or cosmetic. These bikes seem like solid machines! Gonna rewrap with copper tape after I get the exhaust powder coated and welded up :p

Just won these on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200827467555?item=200827467555&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:BCA:MOTORS:3160&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true Still searching for someone who can copper plate my parts in my area. My goal this week is to get my car running and out of the garage and start...

Wow, tires got here in 2 days after ordering. Best deal I could find on the Avons too...

Just ordered the gold chain and new sprockets. also ordered two carb kits for the rebuild. Found this on ebay and picked it up, it looks in sound shape and I want to get that plated too. I'd love to know how the one that's on it got so fucked up...

Just ordered a set of tires. Avon RoadRiders. 3.25-19 front 150/80-16 rear. Rear tire is just a couple mm higher than the stock, but a bit thicker... I have a 130/90 on it now. Scouring ebay for a rear fender that's not all bent up. About to look for a gold chain and sprockets. Can sprockets be...

ok thanks. Anyone have experience lowering the rear on the kz's?

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...

Those look nice. Too bad I need a 16" for my rear. I think I may go with the Avon Roadriders...

It's actually a totally seperate topic. A lot of people rewire the coils on the KZ440s in effort for a stronger start... I'm following the link I posted before regarding the coil mod, only the one in the link adds a relay since it is a points system opposed to electronic ign. Here's the link...

Re: '81 kz440: bobber --> cafe How's this coming along? It looks good. What kinda shocks DID you have on the back? I need new ones. Wanna sell them and the remainder of your copper wrap to me? I'm planning on buying both of those things...

I bought all the supplies I needed to wire the horn once I figure out which one I want-- I wanted to do this mod yesterday since these bikes always have a hard time starting cold. I removed the gas tank and started cutting free the wires to see which I would replace. Unlike the mod on the page I...

If you ceramic coat, is there no risk at all from the fuel, or just a lot less?
