Very nice!!! Great taste in KZs ;)
I have the same signals, and called myself researching everything before purchasing. Didn't realize they didn't come with bulbs until they arrived. Standard bulbs are a no go in these housings, they're too long.
Ended up converting the front set to use 1157 type bulbs(BAY 15D bases). Now have running lights and signal lights up front :cheer:
Bought the SBLEDs and now I need a good electronic flasher to go with them. Looks like an FL32 or EF32 electronic flasher is plug and play. Fits the factory rubber mount to boot!! Bonus :cheer:

Someone once told me to marry that motorcycle I was riding ......there's times I wish I hadda listened .

Very beautiful bike, the turn signals look very good and thanks for the info on Superbright LEDs. A very nice find, good also on the PO who knew the value of such a beast.

Hey, MTB! Any chance you're going Laguna Seca this year? A few of us are riding out from the PHX and I'll be riding the KZ. Looks like we will be riding through the Angeles National Forest on the 2 to bypass LA.

Not really. I'm still collecting parts. Have a Yosh pipe, a set of smoothbores, and I'm still tracking down a set of Yosh Stage IV slipper pistons. It'll be another few months, probably a year, of collecting parts before I start doing any major work. You can see the rear end of it here:

I won't be unfortunately. That is on my list to do for sure, won't be able to this year unfortunately. When are you going? I'll gladly meet up with you and do some riding with you.

Here are some pics along CA-2 from the group ride we did last month: kzrider.com/forum/17-ride-reports/513930...t=20&start=20#526594

We can probably get those guys together for a bigger group ride next time around!

When I bought it, I remember the PO saying that the most important thing he cared about was that he wanted to sell it to someone who'll use it. Mission accomplished.

15k miles in a year - that would be a hell of a lot of hours riding around here where you must be pushing the law just to average 45 mph! Good to see the bike's being used as intended :)

I've ridden with Mark before. The man will commute 200 miles on a Saturday to do a 50 mile ride. 15K miles in a year isn't a stretch  B)
