Are you concerned you might grind up that exhaust on anything more than a casual left hander? It looks a tad low for spirited corner carving.

I like the way it is still unmistakably a z650 at a glance, but so different also.
That 'see through' no sidepanel look is cool.
I too want CNC machines making bits for me whilst i am asleep!

I know a lot of guys ditch the turn signals or replace them with little itty bitty led pods of some sort.
But I like the factory turn signals! They are Big, fat and heavy! Just like I like my...no no no....
But they do seem to just "fit" this old school hotrod I'm building.
This SR had them mounted on the handlebars as stock. I moved them to the lower fork clamp.
I did not have any long metric bolts so I retapped the clamp for a larger and beefier 1/2"-13 thread and used grade 8 bolts.
Then I turned up a couple of spigots for the turn signals to clamp onto and some beauty caps to cover the hex head. Everything easily clears the tank at full lock. .
I timed and tested the dyna 2000 ign and it works perfectly. Good strong spark. I mounted the ign box above the plenum box.
The seat is just resting on the frame. It snugs down tight to the frame and tank when bolted in. I seem to be having issues with the camera showing the correct color of the paint with the florescent lighting.

That is one awesome bike! I'm curious to know about the seat. Is it something you fab ? I'm looking for a seat like that for my bike.

I appreciate all the kind words that were said on this forum about my Dad's bike. He truly had a talent when it comes to machines/mechanics.
Thanks for all your help.
