A KZ750 continues its saga on KZR

Hi, in an interesting turn of events, I've come to know that my bike was once featured on a thread on this forum. She was built by "KZPilot" and finished in early 2005. The apparent sale to his nephew must have fallen through and I picked it up on ebay.

Archived Thread:

kzrider.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=21765

Since then I have made the following modifications:

-rejetted (KZpilot assumed it needed more than it did)
-bar end mirrors
-new headlight levelling bracket
-removed cat eye brake lights and replaced it with integrated turn signal/brake light LED units
-matching LED turn signals up front
-modified side mount bracket to remove cat eye mount and bring the plate closer to the body
-added a tooth to the front sprocket and went to o-ring chain
-polished side cases (considering machine polishing next)

Here it is in its current state:
