Lew if you look closer at the second pic you can see the K and the i of the Kawasaki Logo. Someone just attached a few reflectors over things. BTW nice clean looking J-model you have there.

Purchase a Dyno Jet or K&N Jet kit for the carbs if you're going to run individual filters. You'll be way ahead of the game when you start tuning it.
