Howdy.

Riding season is coming to a close in my neck of the woods, as such I'm planning a few upgrades/modifications for the bike.



I want to get some tracker/moto style handlebars, all the accoutrements, with bar end mirrors or something less conspicuous.
Tires will be slightly knobbier.
I'd like for the signal lights to be closer in to the middle. They're too far out, man.
The tail light assembly, license plate and all, it's too bulky. I gotta clean it up. Make it smaller and brighter.
Fork boots, chop the fenders a bit. New seat.

I like the looks of these.


I like the idea of a 2-into-1 exhaust. Seems difficult, though. Any input. Who's scrambled their kz400s? What should I look out for? Appreciate the input. I'm new.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHowdy,

I'm looking to replace the carb holders on my bike this winter. I've found some linked below, and FYI I'm in Canada so shipping comes into play. Is this run of the mill pricing? Has anyone made their own to any avail? Should I bite the bullet?

Much obliged,

L

Part no.

I did this to mine! www.kzrider.com/forum/11-projects/610894...-spec-z400b2?start=0
I also have a spare pair of inlet rubbers, I'm not sure what shipping will cost from the UK?
