Good luck with the Beemer. Never got why dual sport guys have to have all that luggage crap though.

Really nice work - looks great. Hope you didn't lose interest in your KZ. I was wondering why you still have the brackets on the swing arm and the bracket for the passenger foot peg on the left side? Would even look cleaner... And you were not shy taking the kick stand down :)
