In my case the sporty shocks were an improvement all around. My S & W's were to stiff when I laid then down a bit. Sportys ride nice. I kind of enjoy wiring. :cheer:

Looks to be soldered as well as crimped. Is nice to see a soldering result with no melt-damage to the wire sheathing. Or maybe that's heat shrink over the sheathing up to the lug -- also "acceptable." Good Fortune! 1973 Z1 KZ900 LTD

Great job on bike. you are bringing back major memories of my 1994 Kawasaki KZ1000P. I've taken off all the cop stuff on the bike and, now it looks more like a KZ1000. Wiring was quite the project but well worth the hard work and countless hours put into rewiring!

I've finally got it running. Will ride it for a while then, do some more mods then, paint the bike. Click on my signature to see before and after pics . Best of luck with your bike. Happy, safe riding!
