Great except for the yellow. I love the dual exhaust look.

As Justin pointed out, that's a Kitaco piece. The other cowl seat combo you see in this thread is made by G-craft this is similar but longer and not as portly.

I would urge you all to ride on a bike with that little seat before buying one as ZB's tend to be cramped anyway.

BJ'S bike is awesome, Imagine a NOS set up It must fly. The rear brake pedal (almost stock?) and peg set up (bolted to engine) is neat. (no rearsets). Love those wheels.

Re: Nice custom ...

I don't know why anyone in their right mind would run a set of those ugly polished and forged aluminum wheels on a ZB50
