Looking good so far Shoe. The tailpiece is that way, nothing cut on yours. Keep us posted on your progress.

If you modify your posts, you can change the size (they are too big). You'll see img=800 in brackets (not sure what your number will be). Just change the number to a lower number. 600 usually works good for me.

It looks OK, but my question is and has always been, why remove the fender? Is that 1/2 lb metal object really hurting anything or the 1/2 lb noticably weighting down the bike???
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Aesthetics. I remove the rear fender on all of my bikes too because I hate the look of them. We all know you like stock bikes but hey, you might as well get used to bikes that have parts removed and/or upgraded cause you're outnumbered with this "They are perfect stock" outlook on things man.

It is all welded together ,, the licence plate holder comes right off the rear fender support , I just used what I had in the garage ,, I will try to take some pictures of just the bracket and tail light for you ,, Shoeman:)
