Hello from Finland!
This is my first bike, a 1984 Kawasaki KZ440 LTD with 55k km on the meter (34k mi). I bought it around three months ago, cleaned the notoriously shitty carbs and it drove it around like that.
It's a fun bike as is but I absolutely love cafe racers. So time for a change.
First snow came here in south so I decided to start the project.
I decided to name the bike Studio Darling as I'm stupid enough to build it in my studio apartment as I'm lacking a garage.
I started collecting parts a couple of months ago. Plans include fitting an old MZ fuel tank, a USD front and double Mikunis.
I also got a 18" rear wheel from a 550 to give the bike better proportions instead of the more custom sized 16" rear.
Time to start tearing it apart.
Now it's sitting like this in my living/bedroom.
