oh yea and about the handling, i saw someone who fixed up a kz and he put some newer thicker forks off a newer kawa and put a new spring and gold valve kit like http://www.racetech.com and he put on a swingarm and single shock off a yamaha fzr1000 with just a little modifing.but even if you used the stock swingarm, getting better shocks and forks are going to help the most in handling,besides bracing,tires,etc.

Just post your email adress and you will receive a email! FOR SURE!

For me, it was important to stay close to the original version from 77! No alu swing arm or a larger folk, just some modifications from the same area. You will noticed some different shock absorbers from italy. A little better ...

I found a fairing, very similar to what Johnny and some other guys from the Toecutter gang had on their bikes. Finally , it's close to a Ducati 900 SS fairing. ( SS, wants to say Super Sports)

Cheers!
