got some pics of it with the tank on

Very nice score!!! I'll take all the $150 MKll's you can find...if you need sidecovers Beasley Composites in Ohio still make them- last set I bought were about $75 for the pair. You'll have to figure out mounting as they don't have the oem tabs but way cheaper than EBay or salvage.

I have a set off a shaft drive that I think will fit perfectly. Holler if you want them. I'll make you a good deal on them. I have a tank too..

almost fully assembled. put on the carbs and the full pipe. my exhaust pipe consistes now of a black wrapped Kerker KR race pipe, and a very old MAC muffler with racing baffles. i did some pinstriping on the tank that turned out looking really good. i removed the center stand and all the electrics from under the seat where the airbox was. so its see through there. the bike is really looking like something else. i will have pics up later this week.

got it out off of the porch yesterday. rejetted it rode it around a bit. rides like a dream. tons of power. breaks the tire loose at a whim. this is my first kz and the torque is phenomenal. it handles very very light.

Mines made up of a Kerker header, and a GSXR Ti can thats gutted and sleeved with a custom mid-pipe and flange that I made. I had to cut the can apart and re-weld it to gut it tho.
