Stripped it down to a bare frame on Tuesday, and started cleaning everything ready for a proper paint job. I also completed some further frame bracing on the main frame rails - some mega-gussets added
its no Egli spine frame but fuck me it is close ! Primed and painted the frame in gloss white. It looks virginal, just like the pilot
- well actually it has come up a treat. Have done a number on the tank, with a nice white GT stripe and black pinstriping - very old-school kawasaki it is. Still have to finish the ducktail and the front guard - may not have these done before the weekend though..... 
- the front guard is a corker, picked it up today from the local wreckers for $15 
- think it was from a ZX9R ?? NFI really, we never bothered checking too hard - but it fits really nicely. Dropped the stocker Gpz1100 motor into the frame this morning with help from PC
- and then spent the rest of the day getting everything else cleaned/fitted. Found a couple of minor issues that needed fixing - the chain had been fouling the underside of the l/h aluminium engine mount, so that needed modifying. With the white frame, black wheels and green bodywork - it is really starting to look like a proper bike. The old hard-arse seat has gone - I used the same seat pan, but have had it upholstered now and worth every cent.
Tomorrow - last day before racing on Saturday - I just have to fit the exhaust system, the electricals, make some brackets for the bikini fairing - and lockwire everything. If the weather holds, I might even be able to get some painting finished.
Will update this thread with some pics tomorrow.........
