That's a great looking bike you have! I hope I'm not rubbing any salt in the wounds, But they make those parts every day, not you. Myself,, I would have needed bail money to boot. I made a shop poster at Office Max for $20.00 for mine.

Was happy to help out the BOTM with my humble KZ900. All KZ's are special. So please submit your bike for the BOTM. I got mine back on the road after the DGR mishap. Here is what it looks like in its current form. The grab bar is for an LTD which went with the prior seat. It will have to be changed in due time.

Current project 76 KZ900 (This was a Vetter model)
76 KZ900
81 XJ550H SECA (Current Project)
82 XJ550R SECA
Past:
86 FJ1200
74 Z1900
72 CB450
