what fron brake & headlight can I swap kz650? was created by elcid
I have this KZ650 sitting around that I was going to make into a bobber but time & money won't allow that really. I got it with pretty low miles but I sold off many parts right away because I thought I wouldn't need them. Now I want to ride the bike as everyday rider but I have to go back & scavenge for parts. That's ok because I don't want the stock parts anyway. I want to get it back on the road for fairly cheap. I am looking for the following parts that will bolt on fairly easily to my kz650:
front brake master cylinder & caliper. What can I get from another bike that will be fairly cheap & even a smaller setup (can I have smaller master cylinder & double piston?). Anything bolt on from a sportbike? With matching clutch lever of course.
headlight. I am looking for something really basic that will mount from the bottom. I do not want ears.
And some aftermarket speedo possibly with integrated tach & idiot lights. This I would have to get new.
I will also need exhaust & seat but I know I have to get the correct exhaust for the bike & for the seat I think I am going to get a custom pan made.
That is all I can think of now. I guess this is turning into a bobber type but not as much of a show bike as I wanted.
All your help is appreciated!
PS here is an example of the look I am going for:

Speedometer with integrated tach, turn signals and idiot lights
Tach signal comes from the negative feed to the coils I think, and the speedometer pickup will probably have to be a magnetic sensor. They come with one free pickup unit of any type they have, and the magnetic is universal.
Also, 2852 is the model number that has every indicator a KZ needs.

Yeah I saw those. Those are nice except I am not sure I want digital. Now what front brake I can swap to my kz650. Caliper & master cylinder, lever etc.

Thanks for the response. I have no problem fabbing some sort of bracket. I just need to know which newer caliper will accept the thicker disc. That to me would seem to be the only problem.
Also I saw that headlight & I do not like it. I want a bottom mount. Do you know of any? Or do I get one & fab a mount?
