Final touches on the tail piece...

 

[Cafe-CB-Racer]

Looks good bro. I will have to get up there sometime and check it out in person. I will have to get my tank up there as well and see what we can do. Kind of nice having you like 100 yards from my house haha.

Fastest way to improve a Honda, throw Kawi parts on it!

Looking good.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

I dig the Kawi tail, sir.

Agreed, that tail looks saweeet!!! What year bike is it from?

 

[Po-Boy]

Thanks fellas! The tail, I'm told, was from an early 80's KZ 1000 police bike? Been pluggin along on some lil things as time allows...

 

[Po-Boy]

Picked up the tank after having the petcock bung and blockoff plate welded up. Rattle canned the front rim to match the rear...

I'm loving this so far. The tail section is beautiful!

 

[deepwaterimports]

digging the way this build is going

 

[Po-Boy]

Thanks fellas! Drilled some speed holes in the side covers and tailpiece this mornin'...

 

[Green199]

Looking good man! Love the colour of the rims!

 

[NvgtrWiggles]

Looking badass! Has a very 50's aero look to it.

 

[Po-Boy]

You guys are too kind. Started painting the tank today...

 

[Toast]

I love it! This is gonna be awesome when it's finished, I really like the distressed old school look.

 

[Po-Boy]

Got the tank badges finished, well except for drilling the holes to mount...

 

[L4NE4]

I was going to do something similar with my tank badges. What did you use?

 

[Ringo]

I'd kinda like to see where this ends up. Interesting approach so far!

 

[Po-Boy]

I was going to do something similar with my tank badges. What did you use?

Just a thin piece of brass sheet, actually from a yard sale candle holder ($1). Hand cut w/ snips, sanded w/ 220 grit, then rattle canned the logo and Sharpie for the "pinstriping", wanted it to look hand made, like someone did it back in the day in a dimly lit barn... LOL, Oh yeah, that was me last night?

 

[PjkF]

Killer! I was looking at the pictures earlier in your thread and was wondering if you are going to hardtail it or if you are actually going to have s suspension setup in the back?

 

[L4NE4]

They are cool! Make sure to post a picture when theyvae mounted
