Hi RonnieRev, The most notable diffs are, US version has no seat strap, a longer rear fender, reflectors on the rear and front shockers.


I have put the US reflectors on mine,the UK one would have no reflectors on the rear, and polished chrome inserts in place of the front reflectors. the other's are plug caps, handlbars, clocks, lights, exhaust baffles, rear shocks. The UK models came straight from Japan, the US models came from a plant that Kawasaki built in Nebraska.
