1981 Kawasaki GPz550 Cafe Build

I personally do not like it when the paint from the seat cowl is carried under the seat if you have side covers as well. NO side covers and  think it looks great. Together its just too much, and it highlights the seam that is present there.

 I had assumed you meant the same color. that looks pretty good with the side cover black. I can admit when i'm wrong. BTW i like the tail you are using, really matches the tank.

Thanks - the tail is actually the original tank cut down

Well yes, this is the GT550 - almost the same lol

I will be deleting the side covers and moving everything up in the tail. Just need to find a battery. Anybody have a recommendation for type/size?

Your doing a great job on this build.
I have used the following battery on my high compression 900. The battery is the smallest per output I could find. Comes with 2 yr warranty. I have not had it that long, but so far so good. They do make a smaller unit that may be OK for a 500 4 cylinder.

Thanks! That is a killer battery ~ little out of the budget though. Know of a middle of the road option or is this definitely the one I need?

Shock make-over. Paint still went - satin finish. Buddy brought over a spray for re painting struts.
