Looks great! How do you have your rear turn indicators mounted? Did you drill a new hole behind the top shock mounts or are they mounted on top of the shocks somehow? Thanks.

i havnt tuned it yet, its felt very restricted before up in high rev's, i had to ease the throttle round , then i put the pod filters on and now it starts easier and a whole lot better, i didnt bother touching it because it runs great now.

i got my rear sets today, havnt had time to take any pics though, too busy riding it haha.

Hey man. I was thinking about the strips down the centre. Would it look better with them starting from the edges of the cap? Just being such a wide tank and all, want it to look in place.
What you think?

Thats exactly what I'm after but could you do it a bit wider, as in the lines come out to where I had mine. Wanted it so it curves a bit around up where the indent of the cap goes.

Sorry to hijack you build thred Tom.

Cheers

you have a build thread? I will post it there.
 
Re: 75 kawasaki kz400d cafe conversion (australia) SEAT MOUNTING TIPS??

No not yet. Tom has my tank and seat at the moment to paint.
When I get it back I was going to start my build thread.
 
Re: 75 kawasaki kz400d cafe conversion (australia) SEAT MOUNTING TIPS??

Thanks Man. Looks wicked.

What one do you like best to suit my bike. My bike is the one on page 4.
 
Re: 75 kawasaki kz400d cafe conversion (australia) SEAT MOUNTING TIPS??

I think I might split the difference in the gap a little more. Take it just beyond the cap edge and let it spill of into that curve a little bit. Not much, its pretty spot on I think.
 
Re: 75 kawasaki kz400d cafe conversion (australia) SEAT MOUNTING TIPS??

I think you colud be right. If you could do one more I would not complain.
Thanks for your help bud, I gotta go into work now so cheers.

Awsome looking bike, wasnt sure on your colour scheme early on but it looks fantastic!

Did you buy that Bell helmet from the US? Didnt think you could get them here with the right stickers etc.
