i don't want to split hairs, but i like the pre bodies a lot more than the 98+. I own a 98+ by the way, let the bashing begin!

Why would anyone start bashing you? Some like the pre's, some like the posts. Both have their own unique pros and cons.

6 of one, half dozen of the other....

[Sasquatch]

yep, its a matter of opinion. I happen to think the post bodies are much sexier (as they are curvy), but I cannot stand it, looking at it from the front end (big old boobs for turn signals)

Every time I see the Post kats I think of a pre that go too close to a fire....

I like both of them alot.

I think the only color I can agree that they BOTH look good in is white.

[JIB]

There are pros and cons for both.

I love everything about my 98+ except that horrible tail light (AKA dog penis!!) LOL!

Easy enough to switch to the 04+ tail... a couple of tail fairings, the under-lamp piece, the new light, a longer lock cable, and a bracket to hold the new light. Watch eBay for someone parting out, ask Arsenic if he has the parts, or if you want ALL NEW, I can order you the parts fairly cheaply (it'd be a special order).

I go for both...but it was a gray 2004 that blew my mind...first Kat I ever saw. Remember, I live in Nowhere with a capital "N". It just hit me like the first time I saw a '63 split back window Stingray. Impossible to forget.

I'm partial to older bikes so I gotta go with the pre bikes.

[SGTJimbo_Kat600]

Its a pre thing for me. I liked em back in the day and like them even more now.

I felt the same way. Swapping the amber lenses to the clear ones makes a big difference. Now the boobs aren't so noticeable.

The rear brake light plug is different enough that some modification is needed.
