How did you drop the gauges down 4 inches? I'd love to do that but have no idea how. Post more pics and a little more detailed explanation please and thanks!

Awesome ride over all. Hell where did you get the rearsets too? They are also on my list...

Man, thats NICE! love it
What kind of mirrors are they?
I would suggest getting a small cafe fender tho (and a 4-1 pipeB) )
fairly new ZX rear sets?

Disagree on the pipes, I like the look of it having twins.

But it would look cooler with the fender :P

Looks great Henry! Quite the transformation.

And yes more info on how you did it all.
Specifically; What kind of rearsets are they? And how did you mount them? Your original pegs were the single bolt mount, correct? Did you drill and tap two new mounts, or just drilled and bolted through?

Is your shift pattern still one down and 4 up? Can you still use your kick starter.
One more, How is the rear brake light activated?

All you 650 guys check out the 650 info and forum site (link in my signature). And Henry, add these mods there too.

Great looking bike! Nice job. What kind of rear sets are those? Can you post a close up pic of the headlight assembly? Is that pvc between the carbs and airbox?

Hey Henry, looking good. Be careful with that tach cable, I have a similar setup with dropped gauges and a lowered front and the wheel ended up eating my cable under load. Can't tell when it's just sitting.

Beautiful transformation. I am biased towards loving black KZ650s

What are you using to connect the carbs to the airbox?
