Naiveté in grownups is often charming, but when coupled with vanity, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool - than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Did ever think that maybe you've been doing it wrong all these years?

Mine20.. Sometimes ya just gotta be in the right place at the right time.. I picked up the forks for 50$ and had the wheel already.
It's starting out well, I like the stance of it so far.. it has a sort of stripped down brutish look to it. My son wants an under tail exhaust, I have a few ideas for that, we'll see how it turns out.
The bike didn't have the cowl, so we have been looking and different bikes but nothing seemed to work and the stock cowl would look too big for the look we have going. But we found one that we think will fit. The fairing is angular with defined lines and has a square main beam like the stock cowl, but is smaller and has the t-signals built in, it's main beam is a cheesy bulb, but the plan is to graft in an HID light system with a projector to really put some light out front. It's also just big enough to hide the gauge pack and wiring.
here's the cowl

Rub it in Jim, rub it in. I really like the GPZ tank. Wonder if it will fit my KZ. Anyone?
