I hadn't really considered it but in all honesty, there's probably a bigger demand for stock style replacements. I've only found 1 place that sells a billet tree and it was over $900, that's over double what these are! I'll do some playing around and see what I come up with.

Right now I've got 3/4" for $165. Going more is going to get more expensive quickly. 1 1/4" probably going to hit $200, More time and material.
That's for just the top

If you can do a 2" drop lower for $250 I'm in. I can probably get away with my ZX10 top or may take one of you 3/4 drop tops too.
Go green, buy a Kawasaki!

Re: Thrown together to ride til winter

pretty big Day Dedicated to getting my KZ ridable again ie: Tail light and license plate
You may or mayot remember I was about 20 miles into my ride when I tore it off looking
for my losing 2 cylinders at 50 or so miles into a ride had just replaced the coils and
returned everything back to the way it was before i opened the vents on the carbs and
supplied vacum to my petcock.
do my usual hour plus drive to my bike put the tail on plug in the wires and was having
issues light was working intermittant found a couple loose pins in the connector works
fine with the exception of signals wired backwards
heres a pic of new light and a flimsy plate bracket in case the tire catches it wont tear
up the light etc...
So do a solo ride with a buddy following mew on his Moto Guzzi 15 miles no problem not
bottoming out looks like a success
stop pick my girl up and we are off to see if 50-60 miles i start missing and choking
and running like shiz!
ride down top the tank off and away we go 28 miles stop hangout for a bit all good 50
miles everything is ok but im paying attention if its gonna act up from warming up and
valve issues it's 100 plus outside new coils so im thinkin valve issue would be manifesting
itself by now 64 mile in Puh puh pow puh puh puh tu toot papow
3 miles from the house limp in home call my guy to see if we can do the valves this week
ok i'm gonn run it down the rd with the cap open even though I have done this on 3 other
occasions with no luck, and sure enough 1.5 miles no change turn around head back and it
starts clearing up. im not that lucky so pull in remove the 3 screws vent appears clean
and open but i clean it anyway double check propper venting put my girl on the back and
nearly 100 miles with no further run problem
I start asking myself There has been one constent with this problem around 50-60 miles
it hasnt been the weather 70 degrees 80 degrees upto 100+ it does it if you ride 10 miles
let it sit ride 20 plus miles until you get to the 50-60 mile mark as long as its within
the same ride sitting for no more than 1.5 hours on a warm day The only constant was fuel
level because I always top off within a few miles of starting my ride
still not 100% because I have opened the cap several times and it didnt clear up so I would
close it today is the 1st time I was actually close enough to a stopping point when it acted
up to open it and immediately get it back out. and the first time I have actually pulled it
back apart to ensure the vent holes aligned propperly
I am cinfident enough for a 100 plus mile ride this weekend. maybe even ride it home
but on the other hand still need a new plate hanger lol hit a big axx bump at speed 2 up
and...
glad i made it flimsey enough not to brake anything
and by the way i paid our gym membership im thinking if we can lose 30 pounds this wont
keep happening lol

its funny you can remove your turn signals run an open header but if you move the plate its a guarenteed ticket in my city. but i am very tempted to try it on this bike (got one of those improper placement tickets few years back less than a mile into putting it on)
