So if I rebuild the original fuel pump you suggest that I also install a fuel shutoff? Is this just a manual shutoff valve inline from the fuel tank or something else?

IMO, using the original fuel pump a fuel shutoff is not needed (the Kawasaki engineers agreed with me).  Just make sure your needles and seats are in good shape and the fuel pump is rebuilt and you’ll be fine.

Yes, just a simple shutoff between the tank and pump. NAPA has them. Last ones I purchased were less than $10. You'll discover how nice they are when you need to pull your fuel pump and the tank has gas in it. A fuel shutoff is also a safety device. I run tube to a convenient place to mount the valve, then run tube back to the pump. Usually my valves are mounted somewhere on the dash.
