i ment that i have an oversized rear tire.

stock driver and driven sprockets.. sorry for the confusion..

i work nights, i get dumber as the night goes on.

I see your picture, now i know what a Z250 is. and no, kawy never shipped them to the US. it's a four stroke twin that is our "KZ" model bikes

Here is a KZ200 that may have been shipped our way:

Hmm, now i see a 250.. but it's only a thumper with front drum.

I wonder if i could steal the front end off of one of these..?

Dual disk fronts HOOWOO

the nice part of the kz's in the US is that they are a dime a dozen.
very few people want them. i'll have to look into it.

Thanks for the great idea gents!!!

has anyone messed with the HID headlights? first problem being the reflector is 1 piece with the bulb..

dont bother trying to upgrade headlight, theres not enough power in the system

kz complete frontend will squeeze on with some persuasion, but is a bit of a boat anchor

that's the beauty of the HID system, it requires less power then stock.

the draw of a stock bulb is 55 watt low 65watt high(approx)

the HID bulb draws 35 watts.

i'll admit i'm now electricly inclined, so i may just look like an idiot.
but i thought that these numbers mean less power draw.

plus the HID's are brighter, if you are meeting one then they are obnoxiously bright.

KZ fronts are a but bulky? hmm..
S1 running approx 28 HP, extra weight = bad..

ok, i'll keep thinking on that..

Thank you for the help!
