KZ650 cafe-racer engine: detailed photos.

And here are some detailed photos of the Kawasaki KZ650 engine.

For all polished covers I chose chrome plated small hex head flange bolts. These are genuine Kawasaki bolts with length  identical to the length of original screws. Chrome plated bolts look awesome.

    Such a high standard of workmanship. It really is something you should be proud of. It is obvious that you have taken many many hours to achieve the results we see here. Excellent attention to detail.
