The guages need to be mounted lower .. Just not sure how as of yet ,,

What about how some of the guys have done... the "under-mount" method? Same trees, same gauges, just mounted underneath instead of above... By the way, I'm glad you're going with the drag bars... Although Superbike bars would be good too...

I will PM Mark wing to see what his idea is .. ,, Remember the guages are rubber mounted so that might have to change ,,

all I can say is...bummer you lost the clubmans...if you PM markwing he has some good photos of a template he made to mount his guages...I basically copied his when I remounted my guages

They were not Clubmans But Clip ons ,, The bike ran down hill so shorter shocks would have been needed . I could find them and all . By the way shocks off a CB650 use clevis bottom mounts ,, But after riding my KZ750B4 I thought that lowering the seat will be enough ,, Thank You for the info is there a picture in your project thread ?/

You got that shortened up seat covered yet hope 2 take mine in soon.

I have a est. of 120.00 to get the seat done so waiting on the money is where the seat is at .. Hope to get back on it this week some time

I found the guy I have used for year to sew my seats up here in town again after the shop he worked at closed so I will be dropping off the seat pan Friday , I sand blasted it then painted it ,, Better price too

I still used the rubber mounts...just grabbed new bolts and bolted it underneath the eyelets

oh and apologies on the clip-ons...I see now...oh and I have a pm for you...

This is a photo chop Iben did for me off KZ400.com kinda shows the colors ,, only I will use the Metalic green used on a ZX6
