What is the link for the seat? I have a Gel after market seat and it kills me and my wife.

Thanks for watching - my seat is from Corbin - it is the “young guns” model - here is their link www.corbin.com/kawasaki/kv17vaqg.shtml

What is the adapter for the pipes you added?

[@4WardJourney]

I added an Fi 2000 adapter for the fuel injection - here is an old video of the pipes upgrade - it was one of my first TH-cam efforts so don’t laugh too much! th-cam.com/video/JYe0gZUbeEw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tXoXyqBK7LQlRqXg

Which batter did you use for replacement?

[@4WardJourney]

The brand was called fire power. I got it from the Kawasaki dealer.

What kind of battery tender do you use? It sounds like you have something hooked up with a connecter that is accessible to plug in without removing the seat and battery cover?

[@4WardJourney]

Hi - the battery tender brand I use is actually called “Batter Tender”. Yes it came with a cable attachment that allowed me to connect one half directly to the battery - and then just use the plug to connect to the tender.
