My build thread - KZ440

[derf]

be careful breaking parts, kawi doesnt make parts for that bike anymore. You can find most parts on bike bandit or used, but I had a front frum on mine and there was a cable that was snapped when I bought it that doesnt exist, couldnt find one new or used, wound up having to have one made for $50

Yep, the xs650 is very popular for this type of build. They are getting harder to find and the prices are going up. Here are some bad ass builds.

There are a lot of build threads at these places. That is where I'm learning a lot

Damn that suck. I've got to go to Fatenal today to see about replacement engine cover screws. The dealership wants $2.78 per screw. Fuck that
