Bike is looking absolutely sweet, looking at the pic from when you first brought it home it's hard to believe it's the same bike.
That handlebar wiring job is really something though, very clean and tidy, great work.
I might have missed it, but I looked through the whole thread and didn't see any mention of the switchgears, would like to know where you got them, I've been contemplating something like that for my GPz.

Onkle, those are Motogadet m-switches
They are nice buttons. I went a little crazy and purchased the m-Unit , m-Button and the m-Lock because its cool.

Got a bit more rough in done on the wiring. It takes a lot more time than I anticipated. Here are a few pics so far. These are not in any particular order, bored at the airport so I thought I would do a quick update.

Did a bit of work on the Clutch Slave Cylinder Bracket. I went old school for template making. After seeing the other brackets for sale I decided to make the bracket much smaller than originally planned. Its just on paper today but should make it on to aluminum by Monday night. Here are some pics.

I should have the aluminum version done today. If it works well I will have my brother draw it up so I can have it water jetted out. If there is any interest I will put together a kit with and without the slave cylinder. I am thinking of doing a few with a KZR logo of sorts. I will probably ask for 3-5 guys to try them out for cost of the product plus a contribution to the site.

Will it fit under the cover? I'm far from doing it but interested.
