Mcdroid made a good point. I have the gixxer for my modern bike so I will keep the Kaw old school. I should have everything painted by next week so I'll post pics when I get them back. Thanks for all the advice.

The headlight is a universal unit from Acerbis. I got it from a local shop for $60 but they retail for around $70-80.

I like both too. I'm going modern on mine, but I do have a stock paint job for it. I have a few different paint jobs for my bike.

Mine came from the UK, everything went smooth. I asked if they had a scatched one for less as I was painting it anyway. Here's a bunch on the bay.

B) I just have to stick my 2 cents in. The headlight mount is chrome. It doesn't flow with the look of that part of the bike. What do you think it would look like black?

Can you get some of the slack out of those brake lines?

I'm really not dising your bike, I think you want honest ideas. Those flames are great.

none taken brother, the chrome headlight ring don't look bad to me. the break lines are the only ones that i have.the bike really looks good in person. if you look at all the kz's the break lines all look the same. they just about all have the chrome ring. so, its all about what you like. you can't have everyone say that the bike looks good, i exspect that. i know i don't like some stuff on other guys bikes, but, its not my bike. this is another kz friend.

this is the same bike but repainted.

all about fun my man.
