headlight
30 Mar 2009 16:31 - 30 Mar 2009 16:41
I like my KZ an awful lot and through this site I've been able to find out a ton of history behind these bikes which makes me appreciate it a whole lot more. The only thing I'd like to change is the headlight, but I have no idea on what to get/where to get it. I'm looking for some suggestions on a different style light that would look good on this bike. Thanks for any and all opinions.

IMHO if you change from the rectangular headlight you should also replace the big boxy gauge cluster. It'd be easy enough to clean it up with a 7" round headlight (take one from just about any of the KZ line), but without the boxy headlight those boxy gauges are just going to look out of place. One option would be to get a bikini fairing, like on the GPZs. That's dress up the front end quite a bit. Just my $.02

Thanks for all the info. I'd like to keep the bike as naked as possible (just like my women!) and like the round headlight idea, but will have to remove the gauges. Are there any other KZ gauges with a fuel gauge that look good with a round light?
