Hi folks,
Been overly busy with work and life for the past wee while, but managed to grab the odd hour here and there in the shed.
Been repairing / prepping / and aerosol painting most of the bodywork - everything had some sort of crack / poor previous repair - except the tank
i've done away with the number plate on the rear, and re-aligned the grey to break it up a bit. Also decided to change the white triangle on the tank to black, and i've taken it through onto the fairing 0 in a similar fashion to the v sexy green & black versions
First batch back from the paint shop with 2 pack lacquer
Very excited now !!

Wife got custody of the furniture that used to be there, so thought I'd put the room to good use
It's been a bit of a novelty to build the kr in there, but won't be going in there once it's running - too smelly
Although it might be nice to stick it back in for the winter, just to admire it

It is quite yoshi right enough
- it'll smell better though
I just thought the original white flash was one colour too many with the new black frame.
Fairing back now - tank comes home later today

That looks lovely Tambo! Job well done!
Theres only one thing I don't like on it and thats the straight edge on the front mudguard!
Everything else looks cock on!

Like the colour scheme, another Kawasaki C4+ model colour upgrade that never was for me =D>
Not over keen on square front mudguard, but the black frame and side fairing brackets definitely do it for me, well done chap =D> =D> =D>

Thanks guys.
I've never noticed the mudguard any different until you mentioned it - I wonder if it's been trimmed by one of the previous 'careful' owners after accident damage ??
Ran it for about 20 minutes, then had to push it home from a mates house when it refused to start
I'll start at the stand switch, and work my through it from there.
First impressions - much much nicer to ride than I was expecting
