Looks really good! Good job on that bike

Pretty cool! Are you going to get some pics of it? The thread is awesome. I'm going to get working on mine hopefully soon.

There is a place around here that does it. I was thinking of calling them and asking how much they charge. I may do that within the next couple of days. I wanted to have the motor soda blasted but I'm not sure if they offer soda blasting. http://www.powdercoatinghawaii.com/

Hmm, I'll take your advice and shoot over to Lowes and grab one. The more I think about it the more I don't feel like dealing with chemical strippers. Now I just need to make sure I don't get a wire stuck in my eye... :o

Thanks Rusty, your bike came out great. I hope I can get mine to look as good. Tifun, I may resort to those as I already have a few quick strip disks along with cut off wheels and grinding disks. The one thing I like about paint stripper is that you don't end up putting scratches in the frame...

Thanks! I have the bike completely disassembled. The only thing left on the frame are the forks and swingarm. I'm going to start going through the parts as far as rust removal etc. I'm going to be zinc plating my own parts if I can manage to pull it off. I'm going to be following this thread...

Great thread! I've read through it once and I'm about to go back through it. I just picked up a KZ305 that I plan on doing some work to and I think this thread will help out a lot. Thanks! Mike

Well at least you know. I'm may be in the same situation as my bike has been sitting since 1996. I know this thread is outdated but it'd be cool to see an update.

Hey guys. I've been lurking around here on the forums for a couple of months. I've been needing something to wrench on for a while so I posted an ad up in my area looking for a motorcycle project and I find one. Someone contacted me letting me know they had a 1987 KZ305 LTD sitting in their...

Nice, I wanted to see if there are any updates? I'm getting ready to tear through a Kawasaki 305 LTD.

Yeah that makes sense. Just to keep the rust off of it. What kind of paint are you going to use? If you're going to use the rattle can job tank on the bike, keep a rag handy for when you fill up so gas doesn't get on it.

Wow, this is getting too complicated for what he is trying to do. I'd just blow into the damn thing with some soapy water and call it a day. The average human can blow 1.5-2 PSI. Good enough in my book. By can compressed air do you mean one of those computer duster cans? I'd probably just do...

Wow! What a fantastic build. There are a lot of great ideas here. Good job!!

Wow, really nice build!
