1982 Kawasaki KZ440 LTD

What motivated you to start your project?

When I bought it back in 2011, it took about 2 weeks to get running just to find out the frame was bent. The next year I bought new frame and decided to build the bike my way.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Used Harley and Honda parts to get the desired look.

What are you most proud of?

All the different parts that I made fit. The fairing is from a 83 Honda CB1100F, the seat is from a 13 Honda Shadow Phantom, shocks are from a Harley Sportster, and rear fender is from a 250 Honda Rebel.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

What exactly is it? Looks like a fun little ride. Super comfy.
