One of my fave Kawasakis, engine looks great as well as paint job. Tank badge screws look out of keeping with rest of the good job you are doing, need to be philips head and smaller if possible, but understand the old mounts may of been stripped threads and you had to go bigger in which case get some philipd head ones and paint em black

Luckily for you, we have our own resident 'H' hoarder in Bristol, I'm sure he'll be along to say hello soon enough.

Cheers, GB

Thanks for pointing that one out Crofty....all comments gratefully received. I'll add some to my next ZPower order and at £1 they'll probably be the cheapest part on the bike!
