Just put most of the parts I ordered on yesterday. Need a few things...still need brake calipers in front and lines front and back and also need to make a decision regarding hydra vs cable. Leaning to getting that hydra piece installed. Also having a problem with the seat hitting the big tank and wonder if they just assumed that my LTD would have a small tank even though I stated clearly that I had retrofitted the big tank.
I hopefully should have pictures up soon of it after I take care of business.

Oh, and I think it was you Leon, the red battery box doesn't still poke you in the eye does it?

I think a lot of people experience that even with an original LTD seat fitted to non-LTD KZ tank. I went to WalMart and bought a very small section of the velv'est, black velvet I could find. Cut out a section of it to match the seat front section that makes contact with the seat. Then used Loctite Superglue Gel . The gel type gives you more control and concentration of the glue. This has minimized the amount of noticeable wear of the gloss on the tank where it contacts the seat.

The Corbin pan is polymer so with a little heat you may be able to reform the pan crotch tip at the tank every so slightly to better fit.....

NOTE: A LITTLE AT A TIME (couple seconds) W/THE HEAT...

Better yet.... You could also remount the seat hinges 1/4 to 1/2" back (or whatever distance required) away from the tank. ;)

The seat fits perfectly on the tank is just opening it and closing it the right side of it sticks on the tank. I think I'm going to send it back if I can't reasonably get it to close without rubbing.

Nicely done sir. Bike looks great. I just ordered my Corbin seat last week, I'm looking forward to it. I got the gunfighter, no lady on this one.
