Hi, I'm Jay and finally got my hands on a great barn find 81 kz650 CSR H1 for only 350 bucks.  The guys wife I got it from no longer wanted him riding so he let it go cheap since it could use tires and a chain.  My plans are to make it a street tracker/ cafe racer style.  The engine and transmission are in great condition though the bike has 21k.  I plan to do some maintenance and ride it as is for summer and redo the styling come winter.  I plan on replacing the tires, chain/sprockets, wheel bearings, steering stem bearings to taper bearings, swing arm bearings, fork seals and front/rear brakes.

I have been looking at the Pirelli Sport Demons tires and would like to know what you guys think of these tires for a kz650?

Nice score. You are doing the right thing by getting it safe and riding it before you start modifying it.
The Sport Demons are good tires. I just put a set of Avon Road Riders on my café and it's like an entirely different bike. Check those out too.
Welcome to the Forum...

That is so nice its a shame you plan on tearing into it........ I'd just put a set of super bike handle bars on it pull the pass bar off and keep it other wise stock...... to each his own though of course.

IMHO that bike is far too nice to modify. 

Regarding the Pirelli Sport Demons - I first put them on my KZ650 9 years (13,000 miles) ago and I love them.  I'm on my second set and will continue to buy them as long as they are available.  Ed
