It runs:woohoo:

The bike runs really well considering i still need to sync the carbs and do some work on the jetting.

I modified the the poorly designed choke flappers and that seems to work pretty good. I took the flapper doors out and filled them in with epoxy, then added an additional detent to the choke arm so there is an option for something other than full choke.

The Yoshi header sounds great :P

I will be machining up a headlight bracket assy. to hold the GPZ 550 headlight and fairing.

What do you think of the Kawasaki green moto-x bars? Not sure if they will stay but at this point i think they look pretty cool.

Way to go, Tom. Looks like it'll be a winner. Just my opinion but the green bars might be just a LITTLE bit over the top ;)....but it's your bike, so whatever works for you.
