Gotto say that really is first rate,to take a bike in that condition,and do it to that standard is.....well.....top.Hat off to you.
I am really looking forward to seeing this one finished.
Such a unusual not desired bike makes it more appealing to me as well.When you look at it,thats really quite an iconic Kawi that is.
Full marks to you fella,so far =D>
I used to be so care less,as if i could'nt careless.

Hello Kneewall

Yes very pleased so far :) i have just picked up all the parts from the chromers and also had the forks rechromed as they were so pitted, once the forks are rebuilt she will be up on her legs :D and yes i think it is a big challenge but when finished 8)

Great job with the paintwork! =D>

Satin side panels came out well; they were worn by the throw-over panniers I used to use. Is that the old red B2 tank I gave you? Definitely not the original one surely... :lol:
