started working on the engine while i am waiting for lots of motogadget goodies :) engine casings will be gloss black, all bolts will be polished stainless steel allen head. some of the fins(sump and sylinder) will be polished to contrast the black casing. side covers will be as above...

kawasaki zx14r fuel pump, regulator etc for a full returnless system installed in the classic tank. as stealth as possible.

thanks for the compliments guys :) did a bit more work on the seat undertray.. will polish this part at some point to match the seat and the tank :)

just a couple of pics. still lots and lots to do..

Brake disc adapters finished :) this should be a good upgrade from the stock 78 brake system

kickstand modified(longer) moved to the front of the frame and welded back on:)

will gladly redesign the rear brake setup if i have screwed up :) please educate me. this is afterall my first motorcycle build :)
