You could try these ........ "They give a rise of 25mm and a set back of 35mm. This was the largest setback we could get and still use the original cables.
On the early K series the dashpad is retained, on the 4v K's the ignition switch will be slightly recessed.
On some bikes you may have to use a longer front brake hose."

Galfer do the wave rotors, it looks like their disc's. The "wavey" disc's seem to be all the fashion at the moment.....But surely you can do better than "off the shelf"

I'm not into switching out forks or rears from diff. year or diff. model bikes.I try to keep it simple so I don't have headaches down the road.

As it sits today

What is that color? It really complements the bike. I'm thinking it would look good on my K100RS.
