It may be pricey, but you gotta admit...it looks cool! Don't forget, you need to buy the colored clutch pressure plate too! That's another $60. The price quoted for the cover is actually the price to modify your cover. If yours comes out like theirs, I think you could sell them for a a good price and make some money:) Keep us posted with plenty of pics!

I do concur. It is a sweet touch.
I'm leaving the basket stock colored for now just to make sure everything goes well with the acrylic window. I'm gonna email Klasmo just to be safe and ask them what specific acrylic they use.
As for if it turns out like theirs, I'm not concearned about this being a problem. I have access to, quite literally, an AMAZING machine shop. lol I can't wait till I get some of these things I've got designed for my KZ Cafe done this spring when I have a LOT of time in there so I can show you guys.
I went to school for design prior to this, so I have a pretty decent eye for conceptual design theory... looking at something and envisioning it as a whole and then dissecting it in my head to make the pieces.
Here's an example of some things this bike will have:
--Custom rearset adapters
--Custom mono linkages on the rear, 3 way adjustable
--Deleted center stand, kick only. (home paddock)
--Polished custom kickstand
--Custom headlamp mount
--Custom plate holder/illuminator (swingarm mount)
--Polished covers
--Powdercoated custom frame w/ Commando subframe (done!)
On top of that there's a lot more. I can't really give out details about this cause I want it to be a suprise... but I can say this. The tank, tailpiece, front fender, rear hugger, speedo/tach dash and chaingaurd will be something that I don't think has ever been seen on a KZ before.
I've got access to everything I need to do damn near anything I want for free... so I'm taking advantage as often as I can!
