There is no substitute for laminar flow in which a helmet is the primary disturbance.

Thank you guys for the warm welcome!

I bought the bike stock.

In the attic collecting dust:
Original Windscreen, Original duo seat, Original passender floorboards, Mustang rear seat, Original signal lenses.

I now added:
Mustang seat (solo because i ride solo)
Kuryakyn deep dish bezels with smoke lenzes front and back
Highway steps chrome(Motorcycle Store House)
Lay-down license plate holder full Aluminium. (originaly for H-D)
Luggage rack chrome (from a H-D Sportster)
Kuryakyn cruise control (but don't like the sticky throttle so it will be taken off)

Wishlist/ToDo:
Goatbelly painted black.
De-baffle original mufflers.
Polish or paint (black) the front forks because of pitting the original clearcoat.
WhiteWall tires when these are done.
Avon Contour grips

This winter i will fully detail this bike and give it a full service. i will update this tread with some new pictures soon.
I did'nt see this when i was buying the bike but all the tins are blue-ish black (or black with a blue tint in it) and the plastics (side covers and hard bags) are deep black.
So maybe i will have the bike repainted at some time to make it Black Metallic or something instead of the original Ebony black (non metallic)

First i have to find the problem causing my bike to run bad/rough instead of the smooth ride it was before...but that's in another topic.

Absolutely this is my favorite Kawasaki web sites ! The knowledge here has unsurpassed any other Kawasaki web site.

I've enjoyed visiting your country several times in the 70's (not sure you were with us then). Ha
