I don't know, in those last pictures it looked like it was half done, almost like its missing something :).

Different and good, it actually looks like it is proportional which amazes me considering everything bolted on and changed. I'll be interested how the final turbo/filter setup looks with the rest of the bike.

I like it! I think it's really good work to make everything look correct. I wonder why he didn't just go with the ZRX dual shock swingarm?

I'll be watching that thread to see how it runs on the dyno.
The Kaw List:
Current: 79 KZ1000 A3 MKII, 78 KZ1000 A2, 78 KZ1000 Z1-R, 78 KZ650 SR, 80 KE175
Former: 03 KLX400SR, 99 ZRX1000, 82 KZ750 LTD, 80 KZ1000 A4 MKII, 80 KZ1000 LTD, 78 KZ1000 A2, 74 H-2 750 Triple, 78 KL250
