Welcome in mate! What a nice Z, I'm envious as fuck Fella.

Agree with Rod and Harry mate, but what you have done with the rest of the bike is looking mighty fine Fella. The Z's look cool off the peg, and what ever you do to them they just keep getting better and better.

How about getting hold of some of those flat indicators they put on the side of car's, the little round ones, and mount them on you front lamp unit mate.

Good idea on the belly pan mate, I love em and when I have a few quid spair I'm gonna stick one on my Blade.

Nice set of rear sets would also look the nuts on there too buddy, You can pick them up quite cheap on ebay.

Keep the progress and the posts coming mate.

Jon.

Thanks for your comments.
I am getting there slowly, just wish I had the skills that most of you guy's have.

I think a big improvement will be when I get rid of the rear pegs & seat.
Bellypan will look hot.

I hate the front indicators, but I can only find one of the LED one's in my shed ATM.

Well did a little more last night & today.
Like the idea of alloy rearsets but what I can afford I would not trust with my curvy figure......[:I]

So fuck it I thought gotta be shiny under that paint, what a bastard of a job, strip, scrap, sand, strip, burning fucking fingers & buff..........

Looks pretty good I think.

Was thinking of doing the outta edge of the rims before I started, lets just say the painted rims have become very appealling.

Yes I know, it's a new rear tyre so leave it alone.

I have a hugger hanging in the shed drying, a belly pan on order & a rear seat cowl in the mail. It's all coming together now.

Couple of days ago the Bellypan decided to show up, it's been over 2 months wait.

Was going to get a mate to paint it but I don't mind the black.

Now I am on the hunt for another pipe, I have seen GTYR pipe that is about the right size for the task I have in mind.
