You don't see any of those things on new bikes, because they've all been improved (except for the centerstand). The best thing I improved was my skills by reading Parks' book, taking his class, and practicing.


Please post pics of that GS if you have them.

And thanks for giving me hope in riding the KZ up to potential. I get so tired of people looking at my bike and thinking it's a slow POS.
