I'm spending more time photoshopping this bike that actually working on it....
Did one in Eddie's paint scheme

looks good, ive always liked them colours.
Mmmmmmmm who owns that puppy?
Dont know mate, its just a random pic I found on the net. I kept it cos its so sweet
ill tell you wat mate about 10 years ago when i was living in windsor i had an z500 that i swapped for a rolling z1000a1 77 model ,that i was going to build as an goose bike replica from a dude in campbelltown, he had a smick z900 with a billet franks racing triple set and i think it was set up as a fighter it had a white frame and yamah wheels ?? it was in streetbike bike mag then as a build in progress,wish i kept those old mags,you would have loved that bike it was sweet.
yeah i do like the look of the streetfighters that came out of the 80's and 90's
The Eddie Lawson paintscheme is a classic for the old Kawasakis. I think it's one of the most iconic colour schemes that has been used over the years, and is my personal favourite. Hence my own bike being done in the same scheme.
That thing is fuken hot mate!!!!!!!
Picked up my bodywork today, everything will need new chassis tabs but it all fits the ST frame very well, I cut the tank pins down 5mm each and thats perfect, they look to be it he rite place but I won't know till I get my new stem bearings and get the triples on.

And that fuken sexy Retro tail sticker has me rethinking my paint................
fish scales on the covers hmm
that looks fucking sick with that tail exactly where it is... and i kinda like that decal too... maybe do something like that with more Kwaka-esque colours.
Fish scales????
Trav, that's what I was thinking mate!
My head stem bearings turned up yesterday and were Fukien wrong!!!!
But I used the top one to hold the stem in place so t cold look at the bike with The bodywork on it.
The tail is I the same spot as my last pick, I think it might be a tad too short...

I reckon this is more betterer.

Tail on the first one for me mate. Second one makes it look too long and low and loses the purposeful stance.
Yea, first one for sure. Second one has turned it into a barge.
imho 1st one with the whole bike at a steeper stance
Alrite pic number 1 it is.
And i agree the back needs to be jacked up!
That's looking good bud. Did you get your triples sorted in the end as I never heard back from you
that looks phatt as.
Very nice build Kiwi!
thanks guys, progress is painfully slow without a shed and bubs is getting verry close so the build may go quiet for a bit
but dont worry ill keep you all updated.
Jules, thanks mate, i got them sorted, snuck into my works service center and used there press when no one was looking.....
I finally got some stem bearings this week, coffee table makes a good bike bench.....

Dammit man! Clean up that frame!!
Haha! Mate the frame needs bracing, a monoshock mount and de-cluttering...
Then a sandblast and a powdercoat!!!!
not much happening on the build at the moment due to this little fella getting all of my attention...
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...019_134019.jpg
but i am chasing a Mallory sprint magneto like the one below, i know they are not great for the road and have no advance or retard, but i want to play with an adjustable cam gear and see what i can do...
and they look fuken awesome!!!!!!!
