Having seen a 1000 next to my own Kirkham...the flares are basically the same...the 1000 was in a file finish vs my brushed, so the light shone on them a bit differently. And I think it's the same tricks light plays that makes you think the linked 1000's flares look a little different after its painted. Jorge (aka George) ain't no photographer.

To me, the easiest difference to see between the 1000 and the KMP is the along the top rear fender from profile and the rear...a bit rounder for the 1000. There are other, extremely minor details.

Forgetting any discussion about which is better, etc., another line of thought process for you might be along the lines of which will make you happier as a Cobra owner. Personally, I want the same guys who built the thing to be within reach (alright...within reach of a longassed arm) if I need dings taken out, etc. Provo's not around the corner, but it's not a boat ride away either.

You've been around here long enough (2002) to know everyone else in the arruminum business has come and gone except two...McCluskey and the Kirkhams.
