Man, i picked up this bike about 4 months ago, Ive been customising it to my likeing.
Its got a 4 into 1 header
NGK coil pack
New tires
But all that was on the bike when i got it.

I replaced all the engine gaskets, syncronised and tuned the carbs, a little paint here and there.

It looks and runs good!
but I lost my damn left side fuse box cover and i cant seem to find any.

Anyone know who has a good selection of vintage kawi parts????

I think some gpz 550 stuff will also work on your bike.

eBay, as sakiguy said, the KZ500,KZ550 and early GPZ550 side covers are the same, i've lost a left one some time ago, try to change the rubber holders.

Is it the actual side cover your looking for (the part with the KZ550 emblem? If so, they do show up on Ebay fairly often. You may want to replace the rubber grommets that they snap into, They get old and cracked and then the covers fall off.

Nice looking bike by the way! More pics please!

I'm working the same way in my KZ500, but going to red choice :D
