The paintwork isn't quite how I wanted it, I wanted the decals in the middle of the tank, so that will need to be rectified in the near future. The front brakes are still a bit poor , despite many attempts at bleeding the lever as a lot of travel before they bite. I have got another...

Woodgeek, looks like a nice find, plenty of work to be done to get that roadworthy. You've got the tank in original colours and it looks like a decent exhaust. Anyway ill use this post to update you on the bike. I managed to get her back together and get the paintwork done. Then when I started...

Beautiful work Dude, tell me the secret to restoring the plastic parts? 8)

Lovely work on that bike you must be very proud of that!!

Time for an update on this bike, I fitted the forks and wheels and got myself a rolling chassis After fitting the engine this is what she looked like I have sprayed the engine in Techcote hi temperature satin black paint, to get a decent finish the clutch cover had to come off for painting...

So Ive been riding her for over a year and have been doing bits to her when I can. There is wear in the main stand fittings on the frame which caused the joining pipe on the kz 550 ltd exhaust to fracture. I came across a powerflow exhaust on Ebay which fitted nicely and doesn't cause too many...

Not been on here for awhile so I thought id better do a update. When I got her she was a non runner that had not been on the road for over 10 years. One big mistake I made was not even asking the previous owner why hed stopped using her !!!! Or who had ruined the standard paint job with that...
