Ginger bread
04 Mar 2015 17:57
Always disliked the open area and exposed cables and such benieth the head light. When they came out with the emblem covering all that crap, I wanted one. Had my eye on this one and others on eBay for a year. The guy lowered the price 30% but raised the shipping cost, so it was the same price. It's off a KZ 1100 and I knew someone would scoop it up so I bought it. Something for me. Made my own bracket and had it on in an hour. $17 and change. I like it.

Looks better? I think so.

Good move Steve.
That is the one ugly spot on KZs I could never understand that the factory let slide.
I went with custom trees from my Good friend Les Holt at PDM and problem solved

Nice improvement.
That area didn't look too bad on the early KZ650 (see 1st image below), but Kawasaki cleaned it up on the later KZ650 models by adding a similar name plate bracket (2nd image). Ed

It just looked naked to me. It does dress up the 650 tree too. Something more to keep polished.

One of our members painted his calipers with red anodized paint. Looked good so I decided to try it in blue. Too cheesy?
Thinking on doing the oil cooler too.
