Or you could go to aerostich.com and order some of their self tapping carbide tire studs.

Havent got a chance to do anything constructive to the bike......lol. But i did win a corbin gunfighter seat off ebay for 65 bucks shipped. The guy said he didn't know what model it came off but its for a kawi.

good luck with the build. Lookin pretty sweet so far.

Thanks jordan. I found out from my best friend i have known since the 5th grade, he is going to let me use his nice heated 2 car warm garage. So i will be able to get a crappola amount of stuff done in a short amount of time. Plus he has a nicley stocked Mac tool chest huge air commpesor, and a sandblaster. It only got up to -4 degrees here today.........brrrrrrrrrr.

Got some good news to report, i scored a corbin gunfighter solo seat off ebay for 45 bucks, and i also scored a set of dual front callipers off of an 85 or 86 Gpz 900 i am hopping will bold onto the forks. And hopefully a paint job by Mark Wing, i seen his ELR tribute kz 650, and the z1 might look awsome in that, but not 100% yet. Anyway here are a few pics of the seat and calipers.
