Hmm. The Kwak France endurance racer scheme is probably the only 'green' paintscheme I'd even consider putting on a bike. Very cool.
I'm waiting on a pair of H headlights from eBay (when I can get the seller to respond to messages). Toying with putting just one of them off-centre into my L track fairings, rather than the AY50 twin lights that I bought a while ago (theyre looking like a bloody tight fit to get two of them in without interfering with the forks).

Oh and just as a thought, anyone fancy photoshopping a pair of vertical stacked twin spotlights (Duke 749/999 style) into the AMS fairing above the air intake? I reckon it could look quite good.

yep, its the scheme i keep coming back to, classic kawasaki with a bit of history to it.deviant wrote:Hmm. The Kwak France endurance racer scheme is probably the only 'green' paintscheme I'd even consider putting on a bike. Very cool.

As I say, I've technically bought some, but the seller's decided to send me the invoice with an extra £1.50 added on for 'postal insurance' that wasn't in the delivery costs in the listing. I've politely requested he resends the invoice for the right amount, at which point I will happily pay him.zimm wrote: um, the AY50 lights twin projector's ?

If I definitely decide to go with the H light rather than the AY50 projectors, you can have the latter for the cost of postage. But I'd like to look at them side by side first.
I'll let you know.

vertical stack AMS ..
looks ok, but there's no way there'd be room for the top light unless you didnt have clocks.
i had a look and had the same concerns about the depth of the light units and the forks/clocks .. but without having the stuff to hand its hard to tell .. H lights aren't as deep, and (obviously) will fit in there

works quite well, particularly with the lines of the white numberboard and the air intake. would look rubbish on a standard L fairing I suspect.
yeah, there's not really room in there is there. Unless you went for some super wizzy LCD dash.
