Normally you would since 1&2 are into one and 3&4 are into one.
Other system I've seen are were 1&3 are into one and 2&4 are into one.
I don't think that's an issue.. my ltds similar
I love the look of your exhaust.. bad a$$

duel kick stands......different and cool
.i use to carry a 2x4 6in long with me under seat so i would set on the asphalt or on sand when at the beach. as heavy as the Kz is in south Texas asphalt would soften up and kick stand would sink.

Call me crazy but bracing up the frame ,then putting drum brakes on both ends with really tall/heavy rubber on both ends seems kind of counter productive to me anyway. ;)
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

it's okay jim.

you,
don't have to "get it".

this bike is built in the wrench monkee style.
you should check them out www.wrenchmonkees.com/motorcycles
but,
i dare say that you won't
"get" any of those either.

wow I got quite a few xrays that look just like that. it's pretty difficult getting around in a wheelchair .were you in motorcycle accident?
I was wondering if you put the project on the side shelf for a while? Are you going to leave the oil cooler there

Yeah or an MX accident 6 years ago where they didn't put it together the right way so they had to cut the shin and rotate the foot 20"....
So no MX riding and away from the garage for a while..
