1979 Kawasaki KZ650 C3 "Blue Bessie"

Here is the "final" outcome of a ton of money, hard work, and time.... Nice to have the payoff ;D . Comments, compliments, and criticism all encouraged.

Hmmm....

Headlight needs to be the same blue as the tank and tail plate. Other than that, I really like it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that... A couple metal brackets and such need painted black yet and I'm going to have the headlight bucket, front fender, fender hugger (if I can find one) and maybe gauge backs? to match the bike blue... Thanks for pointing that out. ;-)
 
Here it is... I think I'm done for now. Not many more changes I think I want to make cosmetically. This is pretty close to what I had envisioned.

Love this bike! Being a fellow 79 KZ650 rider myself. Very nice build!

Thank you for the kind words. I think it's been the most fun build I've done so far. I've been riding it quite a bit too and love it! Definitely one of my top 5 bikes ;)
