Yes it is a word, even if it isn't used much... :P

Orientated is currently preferred use in general British use. Oriented is prevalent in technical use, and in the US.

Thesaurus-Legend: Synonyms Related Words Antonyms Adj.
1. orientated - adjusted or located in relation to surroundings or circumstances;

oriented. orientating, orienting - positioning with respect to a reference system or determining your bearings physically or intellectually; "noticed the bee's momentary orienting pause before heading back to the hive"; "an orienting program for new employees"

For HL colors, I posted in the paint to see what you guys think... I'm thinking gloss black and leave the HL rim chrome...

Thoughts?

"What are you going with on the pistons?"
I'm not sure what the question is...
Speaking of grammar.... :laugh:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Pistons: I hate to 'axe' you, but "how big".
I like the black headlight...maybe that polished anodizing thing that you were talking about. Looks fantastic regardless of direction...just a flavor of perfection.
By all means, continue on!

Thanks for the replies guys.... And Plummen, you kill me brother hahahahaha :laugh:

Pistons, Wiseco 1015cc (70mm). New heavy duty cylinder studs where installed (bitch to get out), no problem with oil passages... All new Liska timing parts (gears, sprockets, chains rubber etc...)

BTW... Scuffed, adhesion promoter, etched primer and shot gloss back last night on the head light shell. :evil: Sweeeet! It's really going to look good with the chromed outer ring and base/neck bottom anchor chromed...

I'll supply images tonight...

Also, I changed the front brake distribution/front brake switch... Images tonight... :evil:

While waiting for my head light paint to cure (Gloss Black),
I decided to try out something... Not sure about it but it will prevent rocks from being flung into the electrical modules and battery...

Actually I think it looks like crap.... :dry: Rear tire hugger in the future...

Since your using a recent bikes swing arm a hugger should be available.

KZ750R1 + 1991 ZR750 = KZR750R1
Better to be shot out of a cannon then squeezed through a tube. - HST

You mean the Radii integrated or under seat area?
If under seat, probably just some aluminum flat plate...
