Molds are done. Bulk production is going to take a bit. It's vacuum composite kits. Very thin, strong and light. Same we've used on our champions Yamaha's and Kawasaki's since 2017. It's not going to be cheap though. We are putting a lot into this but BULK quantity numbers of parts will take some time. I'll do my best to update everyone with there is light on the horizon for any given high demand part not released yet.

I get it. If you want cheap and fast that's what Hotbodies is for lol But you get what you pay for. Personally I'd rather wait for better options. I did not know you guys made your own bodywork. Not sure how I missed that in the last 6 years lol

It’s kind of a secret because production is limited by the number of quality craftsman that can or will do these tasks for money.

I think you're seeing the the front fairing supports and the reservoir close together, but they are indeed separated. You can see in the right side view.

Seriously considering creating a kit for the stock bodywork as well. As for race graphics, it’s possible to make these available. I do not really know what this would sell for and it’s takes some time to install these correctly.

Is that the same shade of green as the original? In the pic it looks like it might be a little darker shade.

Kawasaki green can vary depending on the lighting and camera, but that looks the same to me.

The ZX-4R graphics too closely resemble other bikes in the family. I love the Graves design, it should have come that way from the factory.

It’s an exact match. The green on the tank and fenders are the oem paint

That's like saying you look too much like your father and your brother, so you should get some plastic surgery. :ROFLMAO:

Counterpoint: Place bananas and plantains next to each other in the supermarket and see how many people complain.
