Looks good. Great tail tidy setup. Nice one! Give it handfuls.

A green Kawasaki - the correct choice.

High level can looks wrong though.

That looks like a really nice buy. Think it might need a stubby can though! lol

This can is loud enough I think
Tail tidy looks ok but I'm not sure its legal and there is no light for license plate.
Thanks for comments

I havn't ridden it much yet, only 30 miles back home. Position is much more aggressive, suspension is rock hard ( b1h is famous for that) and it goes like stink, any revs over 4k it goes very well and going over 10k is mental. Totaly different to sv and if u looking for comfort than look elsewhere. I love it, just waiting for insurance to run out on sv next Monday. Gotta do valve clearance and general service + new nack tire and off we go
