Let's not forget they're also the only Kawasaki to win the Suzuka 8-Hour, and the only Kawasaki superbike to win the Daytona 200 (several times, in fact) !

I haven't done too much this month. Someone lost my steerer tube while getting plated and they had to organise on to be made. Then there workshop burnt down. I had a frame and my triple clamps there but they were saved due to their business only getting water damaged. I've just come back from sydney and I'll have to get back on too them to see how it's going. I just got some great news from some guys overseas that have found some parts that would normally be on the bike. I have never seen a display bike with these left on the bike though. I won't say anymore untill I've got them in my hot little hands. I think everyone will be pretty jealous with the outcome though. Especially those that have replica bikes. More updates in about a week when I get these items....can't wait. Couple more pics on Flickr but only the rear axle assembly.
Try making it before you buy it.

Magnificent. I want, I want, I want.

I particularly like the billet top shock mount clevis, what a beautifully finished part (better than the raw lump of ally I was using !).

Cheers,
Brian

Do not walk behind me, for I may not be leading
Do not walk in front of me, for I may not be following
Do not walk alongside me, for the path may be narrow
Just piss off and leave me alone

It's amazing what a bit of shoe polish does. But when you can't get hold of 16.5" tyres that look new, what can you do........buy some 17's.
Will have another 17" rim to match my other front 17 so at least I'll be able to get some brand spanking new tyre....for a blast around QR.

I think if I used the 16.5's they would fall apart at the first corner.....they are a bit old.
