It's a good looking bike! I hate the spokes on my KZ650. A pain to wash plus can't run tubeless tires. My KZ is down south and I haven't seen it in about 2 years.
I didn't mean to demean his bike.
My CB650 has that unattractive rectangular headlight. I've half thought about converting to round unless I get the fairing I have a bid on.

I enjoy seeing these older bikes looking so good.

Yup, Racks are hard to come by. I'm probably going to have to make one for my bike.
Not this winter but next I plan on stripping down to the frame for media blast and powder coating.
I hate seeing these classic bikes sitting in a salvage yard.
Forums like this are great for us DIY guys.

They can still be found. I have 2 plus the quick release trunk that fits them. Have
found another set awaiting owners return.

Not to be changing the subject but speaking of racks. I have a Hondaline rack on my CB650 and I need a couple of pieces of hardware. Can anybody help me out. Below is a picture of the hardware I need.

Thanks guys for the comments. EVEN Maxx. I kind like the look of the spokes except for that mine are rusty. Not that you can see that untill you get close. I don't like the downsides you mentioned but I like the looks.

I did finally get my parts back and fired it up last night. It ran ok after a few minutes of cranking and best of all it was charging. So I should be on the road again soon. Maybe tonight.

As for the rack. I didn't like it at first. but it has realy grown on me. I'd love to find a trunk in good shape. I missed a nice one on ebay that would have been perfect.

I have 2 skooter plastic trunks and have almost been desperate enough to mount one on my bike, NAww to cheasy. then again
I have been putting my lunch on the back behind the seat and in front of the brake light housing in a small camera bag but it looks ok back there . and my lunch just fits good thing I don't eat a lot :D

below is a pic of the bag if anyone is intrested It is held on by the strap wrapped around the bar and cliped on to the bag hooks It is just not on the bag in the pic, so far it has made it to work and back home 4 times around 100 miles or so.

The KG trunks are nice. Hold 2 full face helmets or 2 cases of beer. Come off with a twist of the key and one plug for the lites. There might be a pic of mine in my gallery in the sohc4 site.

I carry a backpack with my computer in it back and fourth to work everyday. Otherwise I wouldn't need the Trunk. The one I missed on ebay a while back was a black one with lights. It would have been perfect. I got online to bid on it but was 5 minutes late. Guess I got busy with something else.

Since I already have the KG rack and the truck is removable I think I'll pic one up sometime. I'm sure I'll like the looks without it better but you cant argue with the function.
