There's a lot to like in that Z Thou. If it was me I'd want to soften the lines in the tank and seat and probably make the seat a bit smaller, but that's nit picking. And wouldn't it have just been easier to bend those headers? There's no particularly difficult bends in there. They've even cut and shut the kink halfway down the front pipes. That long slim exhaust can is REALLY nice.

No, but it won't be long before I am. Care for a glass?
