By 650Dude: yeah, I was about to say they wont fit. The triangular shaped part doesnt fit in the mounting hole on the bike....

Check your turn signal stems & turn signal frame mounts. The turn signals may have a diamond-shaped plastic piece that fits into a rubber damper that has a diamond-shaped hole, and the frame mount may have kind of an oblong hole for the damper.

Edit: after checking partzilla, just about every KZ known to man uses the same rear turn signal dampers, your bike & mine included. I installed K&S stems from Z1Ent & they were a direct swap. mine were longer but otherwise the same.

Thanks for this. I will check the stems, but it sounds like you may be right that they all utilize the same configuration.

Most wires connectors slip through with the male connector
Buy another 650 set from ebay and just do it! Sure they are cheap enough.
Cut em up!!! Beat em up!!
Yes shorten them! I have to hack everything up for my 1 off build !
You can borrow my Harley tools!
