Your TOP 5 Mods.
20 Jul 2006 07:21
Ok, I was talking to some KZ buds of mine, when we got to talking about absolute (have to) mods on our KZs. So, I am curious as to other peoples opinions on this topic. Mine are:
1. Replacing the factory fuse box
2. 4 to 1 headers or drilling out factory ones
3. Replacing factory rear shocks
4. Removing the air intake silencer
5. Replacing electrical connectors
Lets have some fun with this. Whats yours?
:whistle:

1) modern tires
2) reducing trail by jacking up rear end
3) fork brace
4) race seat
5) dumping over weight fairing
It's in the chassis forum, therefore chassis mods.
