thats a cool bike man, everything looks great, although i would definetly get rid of that peanut tank! im not raggin on ya, but i think a stock kz650 tank would look wayyyy better on that bike.

Cool, it's like a bobber and chopper rolled into one!

With the forward controls and bars dropped, you must be nearly touching your toes when you ride it. :lol: Plus the rigid rear end, it must be excruciating to hit a bump with that thing. :pinch: :laugh:

I really like the way the peanut tank sits up above the bars, it's definitely different than the apes you usually see with that tank.

Cool beast you got there!

thanks guys! its not that bad actually, its pretty laid out but not bad all in all. and sitting forward like that is actually alot more tolerable than taking the rough patches of road with all my weight on my back.

as for the stock kz tank, hahaha nnothin personal but no way in hell. the stock tank on the kz is in my personal opinion the ugliest peice of metal ever bolted to a motorcycle, or at least one of the ranking top five. i was thinking maybe a dual filler mustang style tank scalloped would look pretty slick, but i have no intention of changing tanks any time soon.
