How'd you go about that? Hopefully picking up my kat f/e end of this week, and I was hoping to use the stock stuff.
Where does the headlight bracket attach on the bike? Does it even have anything to do with the fork tubes?

yes thank you. i was out on my bike today.  she started up quite easily after sitting all winter.  i gassed her up and went for about a ten mile stroll around town.  i need to clean her up, change the oil, lube the chain yadaada all the tune up stuff.  unfortunately i don't have the tools or space here in my little apartment to do it so i will have to take it to the local dealer.

i am hoping it will be.  i just have to have my ducks in a row so that it is a trip not littered with problems.  either medical, administrative or mechanical, well as much as i can do to minimize that which is out of my control
