 That's gorgeous. I always liked that KZ tail, too. And the color scheme is just right.

Greenjeans, tell me about how you did those foopegs.  Did you just weld up a mount for them.  Riding position looks ideal.


Yep, since the rear triangle was already cut off, I just welded  a piece of steel to the frame using one of the motor bolts to line them up while tacking them in place.   Put a pin on them like the frame so the work just like factory.  I like things to be subtle.  No one ever notices they are 4" back.  Very comfy with the bars.

Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

What a great job!
Those graphics are inspired, IMHO...
