new kz550 owner

hey guys i just bought a 1980 kz550ltd today. bike runs well, just looks like it needs a bit of tlc to it. i was just looking for some ideas or advice as far as doing some work to it. and where would be a good place to look for parts, oem and after market. some of the stuff i am looking to do is get a new handlebars, ones that are a bit wider i guess. and i need a new seat cover for it as well. any advice would be greatly appreciated and if there are any fun simple performance upgrades or such that i could do i am open for that too. thanks i am really looking forward to this bike.

Welcome to KZr cphillips83.

If you scroll down while on any page of the site, you'll see under the Site Functions listing on the right titled Links .
Click on that, and then click on Parts.
You'll find a huge list of suppliers for just about anthing you can think of.
The most popular all around site listed is Z1 Enterprises.com , which is owned and operated by Jeff Saunders, who is also a KZr member.
If he doesnt have or can't get what you need, IMHO it simply doesn't exist.

excellent thanks for the tip, i will look into that.
