One word of advice if you are using an ELR seat cover. The pan on the KZ is a streach for the ELR cover. Before you have it done, you may want to think about running some kind of support for the front corners so it doesn't pull in off the front lip. If not, you don't get a nice smooth line along the tank. If you look at the seat on mine, you will see what I mean. Just trying to pass on some lessons learned.
