Your CSR is looking a lot shinier than my KZP. I run mine in all weathers and the gritters have taken their toll a bit on my brightwork this year. I also removed the Air Vacuum Switch and blanked off the ports. Mine was seized & it was £115 for a new one (which was only fitted due to Californian omissions laws). No need for it in good old blighty!
You're right about Z-Power. I get some of my bits from there. The rest I tend to get from DKMotorcycles.com in Stoke-on-Trent. If you ever get stuck for anything, give me a shout. I might be able to point you in the right direction.

Cool bike - welcome to KZR!
Sorry, but the sun never shines there. This photo must be a forgery!
Keep it nice - it looks lovely!
