The fork protectors are gross! Not so sure about the 84 Ninja front end though. I am not a fan of the windshield either.

hey ben, that's why i'm going to check into sprockets after my exhaust and pcv and a/f mod. want to balance the power. getting there is the fun. no fun running at real high speed on nakeds. just ask me i'll tell you.

I don't expect that you'll need to swap sprockets, but I could be wrong. My Z won't power wheelie unless I'm really trying to make it happen. I'm sure it'll be fun for you to find out if you need it, though. Yeehaw!

I love the look of the front end, the whole bike. I do get allot of folks telling me "hey you have a headlight out"!" I just nod my head and grin most of the time. It's kinda nice that folks are attentive though. I do like the new 2011 black wheels. Gotta get some red wheel stripes!

Thats the main reason i bought it, was looking at CB1000R, FZ1-N and the SuperDuke R before i finally decided kawasaki was closest to my heart(my sisters ex-boyfriend had a ZX12R many years ago and it made an impact).

Well back to topic, none of the bikes mentioned above appealed me, except the SuperDuke that looks pretty agressive (but damn it has the most uncomfortable seat in the world). But none of them can compare to the (if you have a huge amount of imagination ) massive bull the 2010 Z1000 looks like

Im really satisfied with my purchase (the only thing i can complain about is the carbon fibre Akra's, not enough sound in them).

That bugs me alot (why make two reflectors but only one lit? makes no sense, at least to me it doesnt).

Well well. im converting mine to H4 bulbs.

Does changing to a 4-1 system require anything else? (like airfilter, mapping etc)

You need a power commander map. Air filter is optional but will help you eek out a bit of extra performance at the expense of filtering.

i'm getting all three. i've never used bmc before , but have used k&n for years. no loss of filtering with them. not sure about bmc. these new bikes are very lean down low( i'd guess to pass epa) and very rich on top. i guess they figure thats where we'll be riding most. that explains what i thought was a lean surge just off idle. also notice it at 3800 to 4000 when riding with my grandson and son. slow is the rule.
