Chrome swingarm?

Bike looks good. I think I know that exhaust system it's junk.

Yeah, I looked closer. I bought an identical POS exhaust system from the "GreatRandofo" on E-Bay. I couldn't get it to fit up to the head. Still have it and it's still junk.

Confirming black headlight shell on KZ900.

I don't think the black mirrors are orig and is that brake rez a dual? Looks pretty tall for a single disk bike. Nice looking bike tho. Except for that exhaust.

#4 exhaust header is not as discolored as the others, so would assure it's running on all four cylinders, and would also consider paying to have a leakdown test performed prior to purchase. :)

Those mirrors are stock. They're just like mine.

I've never had any problem with vibration.

Actually the mirrors are of the stock type. But the turn signals and positioning of them is not. The seat cover is of the earlier type and not the correct later stile as used on the KZ1000A. Also the rear tail light sticks out way too far.
