I didnt take a before picture of my bike when i first got my bike.
But i'll post of a pic of someone else's bike to show u guys what my bike looked like before.
After i bought the bike, i immediately sprayed it white.
cos i couldnt stand the previous color, and white was the only color i had left.
It was all glued. no sewing.
I'm doing all the bike work using simple tools, and i dont have a sewing machine or anything to sew together a tank piece..
plus, it kinda gave me a headache trying to figure out the measurements to make it fit tightly and all, so i felt that glueing it together would be soo much simpler.
How's it holding up? Quite good actually. I've had a couple of times when i had some fuel spilled on the side of my tank. Seems to be holding.
It's not peeling or anything. I will still put some silicone or something around the edges to keep fuel from seeping thru though.
later.
I'm getting clip ons for the bike on Saturday.
And I'm almost done with my seat.
This is the part of the project that took up the most time.
I found a piece of sheet metal and cut it to shape, to make a new seat for my bike.
It's not the best piece of workmanship, but all i had to work with was a junior hacksaw and a drill.
the seat pan will be mounted using two hooks in the front that slide into slots on the bike , and two bolts that go thru the back of the bike..
so heres the hooks..
now i wanted to make it a solo seat, but its illegal here to do so if ur bike isnt already a solo-seater..
so...
to work round the legal issues, i decided to make a solo seat that was convertible to a two seater..
the seat pan i made it out from my desktop CPU cover.. it was the right shape and dimensions, so all i had to do was wrap it with leather first.
FYI i had no use for the computer anymore, i have a laptop now.
now the hump didnt really fit the sliders, so i had to extend them somehow.
and i needed the extra space for where my seats gonna be..
so i got some metal brackets and cut them and wrapped them..
I like the leather! Especially with the tank badges back on, looks very clean. The seat's going to be sweet as well! I love the shape of the bump.
This is a very original build.

I didn't want the hassle of painting my KZ so I bot the loudest most in your face fabric I could find and spray glued to all my bodywork. 3M Super 77 worked awesome.
The glue held up great but the fabric faded noticeably. I'm not sure if it gets another season or I'll switch it. FabricLand has a ton of camo patterns.....
sorry for the delay... im about done with my bike...
got the seats on...
bought my clip-ons...
all i have to do now is get some electrics going cos i dont have signals or a working rear light...
will get busy posting pics soon..
havent been able to find the time to do it..
its been raining non stop the past few weeks...
plus i wasted about 3 days getting drunk at the Hard Rock Cafe's Reggae Nite' the last weekend...
whats up punkrocker..
the build looks good. i really like the leather, looks awesome. nice work.
