I just bought these for $25 brand new, They are fantastic. He has a choice of either "KZ" or "GPz" logos. Why pay twice as much to advertise someones product ;) These are absolutely beautiful and nicely machined. He had a sale on them so I could not resist. They are from drfshop.com. You can also find them on eBay.

Wow, that's a lot of machine work for $25. Do they appear to be clear anodized, or are they bare aluminum?

At that price, I would doubt that they are anodized. I could tell if I had one in my hand, but I don't think that I can explain it over the internet. Anyway, the Gun Kote should do the trick. Nice find. Does he have any for a newer Kawasaki? I would buy a pair for my ninja for that price.

They are not Anodized, I do know how to tell the difference. The Anodizing is not worth the extra $20+. I did not want them silver anyway and, I did not want the brand logo on them either. Take a look at his websight it will show you everything he has.

The block off plates will go where the smog gear is on the exhaust side of the "J" engines and posibly the other engines on similar bikes.

The smog gear has reed valves, a vacuum switch and assorted hoses. It's designed to burn any rich exhaust products for a cleaner running engine in the exhaust sytem.

Can anyone tell me what is the advantage of these over the smog gear?
