Your TOP 5 Mods. was created by vic44139
Ok, I was talking to some KZ buds of mine, when we got to talking about absolute (have to) mods on our KZs. So, I am curious as to other peoples opinions on this topic. Mine are:

1. Replacing the factory fuse box
2. 4 to 1 headers or drilling out factory ones
3. Replacing factory rear shocks
4. Removing the air intake silencer
5. Replacing electrical connectors

Lets have some fun with this. Whats yours?
:whistle:
