Somebody here recommended getting one of those impact screwdrivers that you whack with a hammer; I got one at my Ace hardware joint for like $12 and it works great.
Would you think about sanding the black off the "Kawasaki" on the side covers? Just a thought...

Man, I've been telling people to black out their spokes for years. They always whine about the rust and the polishing and blah blah blah... I start to hear violins.

No surprise, you just blast em black and it looks great!

I like the new found use for a license plate... keeping chain grime off your ass!

Looking good!

Man
I've never really liked those "cafe" bars but I really dig those ones. That flat black frame and powerplant really makes it looks wicked. I like!!!!!!!!! BTW I really like the way the pipe is set up. This is definatly one of my fav bikes on KZR

Scumbag, How about adding a second disc and caliper to the front wheel ? Sure would help with the braking on those high speed runs. Wayne
