Maybe I'm going :retard: , but, I'll be much happier with the GZ once I get the exhaust hanging parallel to the ground. To me there is just something wrong with the upswept muffler - a sportier look?? I don't think so. Maybe I'm too anal

Have you checked with IKEA for a sheep skin??
If I remember correctly my sheep skin came from Alaska Leather. A reasonable price and I would think a small or mediun size at most for the GZ.
As for lowering the muffler beware of loosing your ground clearance and grinding the muffler or worse. I might be tempted to move it slightly to the right a bit to allow for better access to the axle during chain adjustments.
Oh just remembered this. Next time you have the rear wheel off you can install the axle end for end and make the job easier with the nut and cotter pin on the left side of the bike. The bike doesn't care. Just remember to keep all the spacers in their proper place. To do that you will have to lift the muffler temporarily to slide the axle in from the right side.
