more details on the mods....
works front suspension (shock covers), flame seatcover, new TAG handle bars with black acerbis handgaurds, razrs all around on ITP rims, nerf bars, heel gaurds, radiator scoops, Dr.R exaust system, aftermarket CDI, and i think thats it.
thanks for the advise everyone. ill post pictures of my ride when i get the pics on my comp. too bad i didnt have my video camera... there is one picture of it in my profile from like, a year ago when i rode it for like 10 minutes.
btw-mucky, your Z is very nice!

Bought my 2005 Z400 for the high seating. I'am 6'3" and have found it to be the best fit for me. As far as tipping I haven't had no problem's. Sounds like A great buy, Go for it. One word of advice get the front of the frame reinforced. They tend to be weak and bend on impact.

i wish the Z was just a little bit wider. another mod i forgot to add was a K&N Filter... oh yeah, and frame gaurds...
i was switching rides yesterday. i was test riding the Z around and then switching to my uncles yfz and back to the Z again. its deffinently a lot more comforable. less aggressive style ride position. its wheelies a WHOLE lot better. it can be hard to get the yfz's front end up high. it surely has enough power but its not designed to come up. the yfz does have a VERY noticable power band tho! holy crap! that thing pulls hard! its like a banshee powerband. man! i was in 4th gear, low RPM's and i nailed the gas, spun out till i got traction and from there on i just took off. wow! i was thinking, holy crap, i have one more gear to go... the Z's power band is a lot more smooth. i dont know why im rambling. most of you guys should probably know this.
