Nope but I was thinking about it also, but then I dont no if the seat will fit. If you have the parts try it, can't be that hard. I have a LTD to and yes I think the tail sucks a bit, but I have on a sissy bar so I don't notice it. I got my seat reupholstered and changed the outline of it so it will fit the lines of the bike's rear end. Pics?

Not trying to be controversial here, but you did ask, so this is simply my "2 cents":

I think it's going to be a 'bitch'. I had some experience on the other end of the bikes when I was doing some J/CSR/LTD/GPz swappage and it was just like Honda had temporarily taken over Kawasaki and had ensured that nothing would interchange. I think you're going to have seat interface issues, fender drama, and tail light drama. Of course I sure could be wrong, and for your sake I hope I am.

The bid deal is: post up pictures to show us what you dig or didn't have problems with. Good luck!!! Sounds like it'll make your bike look a lot more bitchin'!

I almost want to thank you for that! :laugh:

I think a KZ650 tail fender would look great on that bike...or a Z-1 tail...keeping the lines swoopy and flowing.

Again, just 2 more cents to add to your 2cents pile! :)
