Red frames are tough to pull off, but the KZ has a nice frame

I LOVE it man, very cool, very classy...
Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I cant wait to start laying some paint. I would like to prime and paint all my parts at the same time so...i'm working to get all my body work done. I'm now at the stage of my build where I keep thinking, "man these little bikes sure do have a lot of parts." and "where did I put that.

So sick. I'm thinking about using those on my upcoming 400 tracker project and I'd love to hear how you like them when your on the road. What length did you go with?
I went with the 320mm. They are a little shorter than stock, but it looks like the bottom eye can be screwed out for adjustment.
Re: 78 kz400 cafe build Primed to prime!
I got all the tabs ground of and worked a little more at fixing dents. I bet I ran the grinding wheel/flap disc for at least an hour. (not the most fun part of this build. It was very tedious but I think i will be glad I did it in the long run. I have off work tomorrow and would like to get the paint flying, but I don't see it getting done.

At this point TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!! So what if the bike's on the road 2-4 weeks later than planned? You'll find that it's worth it. And if you cut corners at this point, you're going to hate yourself everytime you pull the bike out into the sunlight.
What's your plans on baking the paint?

I use a downdraft booth that can bake, but I usually don't bother. I have used the same base/clear on my own cars without baking it and have had great results. Do you bake your paint?
