Funny I don't see that... when I look at that head all I see Kawasaki giving the entire industry the middle finger....

Tyler,

Never had 1300 heads apart. Come to think of it never had a 1300 Kaw apart. What's wrong with yours?

It a tired engine, I got it to run after sitting for a very long time. 65K on the odometer. She's a smoker, kinda bad too. Valve seals are toast for sure, may need guides too. Will see when I get mine apart.

I am looking at a performance build, 1400cc displacement, custom regrind on the cams, and someone to open up the porting for me...

God that would haul ass built up and ported. Stock mine 710 lbs and the front wheel comes off the ground when I let the clutch out. They are fast for a heavy bike.11.79 and sound so cool with a header

I have heard a 6 cylinder KZ with a 6 into 1 header...its like a choir of angles part the sky and sing when engine revs...

So yeah the DG exhaust is my budget.... defiantly in my budget!
