I'm interested on the steering head and down tube shots. They say the KZ 900 frames were thicker material to reduce flex.

Yeah, that's a KZ. Only thing is the bushing in the steering head brace. That's meant for a oil cooler.

The angle piece going from the bottom steering race and to the down tubes. There's a bushing going through it.
