I machined up some headlight brackets. I made some split collars to mount them to the forks.

Also made some covers to get rid of the smog covers. I still need to do some polishing on those.

closer pic of the centerstand mod. I milled clearance for the linkage and added stiffeners for strength. It seems to work pretty good.

I really like those covers you made to replace the smog stuff! If you are ever bored and want to make another pair, I know a KZ550 that would be so happy!
