I am trying to upgrade a couple of less-than-optimum aspects of my KZ200 and think the headlight and braking system of the KZ440 might be compatible. I haven't had a lot of luck getting the specs I need from the web

Does anyone kknow if the headlight off a KZ440 has an H4 bulb and is it a 5-3/4"?

What is the diameter of the forktube on the KZ440?

We're looking to upgrade the front end of the KZ200 to hydraulic brakes. Are there any other suggestions anyone might know of?

Thank you!

I have a 1982 KZ440. The headlight is 6 1/2" I believe and is not an H4. A conversion from stock to an H4 is possible although I have not attempted it. Here is some more info in relation to this (THE KAWASAKI TWIN OWNERS FORUM :: View topic - H4 mod on stock bulb!)

KZ440A has 33mm fork tubes

KZ200A has 32mm fork tubes.

If your serious, I guess you could get a new
steerer stem made to fit the 440 upper and lower clamps to the 200 headstock, using suitable bearings.

Thanks for the information. I'll look into the suggestions! I'm sure it would be easier to get a new bike but what fun would that be?!?
