I don't see a Kawi in that picture.

Nice 675. I'd ditch the passenger pegs if you're going with the solo cowl though.

for future titles, the words "graphite" and "daytona" should not be used together

the forks are ok. it's the rear shock that's a POS. oversprung from the factory w/ **** valving. an elka/ohlins/penske makes a huge difference.

Your local around Evansville, IN right? Have you seen my buddies 675 with marchesini gold wheels?

Many people ppl have claimed and complained the rear shock is junk but I don't know one person on the street or on the track that setup/adjusted it to match their weight & riding style. Most just say that because everyone else has said that. Next year I plan on setting his 675 up for me tracking it to give confirmation for myself.

I'm sure most haven't it touched it from the factory, so they'd say it'd would suck too. I'd work on riding to the limit of factory stuff before spending that much money. my buddy has an Ohlins rear on his GSXR600 and doesn't know how to adjust it. What's the point...

what was his name? he used to have a silver hatch or still does right? i havent talked to any of the evansville boys for a long time. i moved back to cali for some while now. but i am out here in vincennes for the winter. my suspension is adjusted for my weight and riding style. it feels alright but not great. i want to try an aftermarket shock to compare the difference. alot of people say youll love it!

Yeah, you know him then. JP is his name. He still has the silver hatch. He has my B16A/B in it now that I road raced but then I traded for his K20R and did more road racing with that. We rebuilt his with ITBs Toda C's and a gaggle of Toda goodies. We road race bikes more often now though.
