Very nice.

OMG, what did you use for the rear sets? I have a kz650 and i want something like that to replace the bent stock pegs. Those look like what I want to put on the bike.

Nice looking bike!
Check my signature for manuals, info on the cams and the valve train warning before you oopen the valve cover. I also have carb and jet info. Most is for a 550, but your 500 basically uses the same carbs.

Those are Raask Rearsets. I have been using Tarozzi Rearsets from Fast From the Past on the race bike, and on the street bike. Fast From the Past is where I bought mine.
