Oh, that is just way too cool. It looks fantastic-I love it!

I like the old Vetter style fairings and wish they were still available new. Had one on my '73 BMW and here's Pamela with her '79 KZ650. best fairing ever designed.

I like it! Looks like one of the color matched Kawasaki badged versions.
I had one on my first KZ750. Great storage capacity and excellent wind protection. The one thing I didn't notice until I took it off was how noisy they were. The fairing acted like a parabolic reflector and you could hear every click and tap from the engine's top end loud and clear.
