Getting closer....
Posted: Thu Nov 15, 2007 4:01 pmThis is my new ride, not quite going just yet like everyone elses is. Pulling it down to change the classic ZX7 purple rim design to something I feel will be mine. Paint the frame & rims mat black.
Polish the outside ring of the rim along with the grab handles.
Paint the fairings gloss black.
I work as a metal fabrication engineer, and everytime I look at the rear sets on my bedroom floor, I start running ideas through my head. I reckon I might have to draw some new ones up and get them cut.
The idea of the stripping, is to give the bike a good clean and service, make the bike original, learn how it all goes together, and most importantly TRY to do everything at home. I want to do all the work myself (including plastic welding).
Should be good. Knocked up a temp engine stand today so I can drop the engine in the coming week.
And before anyone mentions it.....The shed is pretty clean hey
