i really dig that fender ...  ... very very clean indeed ... so whatda think of those gauges . i have the same ones on my KZ and i don't really care for them .. they look good , but dont work for jack

I have the same gauges and feel the same.  They look great but work so so. 

Jett has the rear fender been modified?  Or is it stock?

Thats the stock rear fender.  The shocks are shorties.  I choked up a bit on the forks to match. Used risors so I could mount the straight bar.

I'm using this master cylinder from Dime City...

You have to use the bikes original banjo bolt - you'll never get a proper bleed otherwise.

Got the same one off eBay for 49.00, the seller is always on there.  I used the bolt that came with the MC with steel braided lines from the seller who advertises on this site (I'd find the link but the stupid search engine on this site hasn't worked for me in months) and I got a great bleed and nice feel from the lever.

Re fender - the front is a universal unit from jpcycle.  Mounted to the original bracket.  Tried to save the original but failed.  This one is not as wide.

There is no way on earth I would ride that. First time you hit the brakes hard you lose your nads.

Looks like a featherbed.  Probably one intended for a Vincent.  Just can't understand why people put huge work into building a performance bike, then put antiquated tires on them. ::)

Thats the first thing I thought of when I saw this bike. Shame as it looks like it would handle with good tires.

Freakin Goregous...But, if you look at the forward most holes in the LHS brake rotor, kinda looks like someone did a crappy job on the drill spacing...maybe there's a pattern to it, but I don't see it.

Those are KZ Wheels & Rotors.
They come that way stock form the factory.  Could never figure out why.?

Best I could come up with was, they had just started Drilling Rotors in the late 70's and may have thought uneven spacing was better some how..?

Many bikes of then had oddball hole patterns. Personal experience with GS400/450, looked like that. Beats me.
