Kz550 some winter progress

I grew up in Queens, live at the jersey shore now. Always a giants fan! At the moment im ok with questions, but as for parts im looking for a throttle assembly(start/run) with a 6 pin connector, and my stator cover is cracked. Need a left side cover too. Im sure more too, but drawing a blank at the moment.:blink:

Painted the swingarm yesterday.. Using lacquer on the frame and swingarm, vht satin black on the motor. Still have mad frame sanding to do, the thing i hate to do the most.. Sand..
Get back to you all with more pics as they come! And thank you for all the support you guys give!

Just another pic

Looking good:)

Are you going to paint the body parts too? What colors are you thinking?
On my 550 i was thinking about painting the rims all black. My body parts are Kaw green so i figured the all black wheel would be nice

Yeah, I don't much like the sandin' part either ... But keep at it ... your doin' good! I was where you are last summer ... nearly done now !!!

Harm, going with the kaw green, which i already tried to paint the fender and cover and screwed it up horribly, plus it needs to be at least 70 degrees to paint with pj1, so thats on hold. Was going to go the elr route, but instead leaning toward a Eddie lawson TRIBUTE
But, thats just a thought and i dont know if the budget will allow for the paint job im thinking of, so we'll see. Thanks for the encouragement dale, headin into the garage now to sand some more!

Sandin this part of the frame, and looking at...

This..

Springs comin! Temps been in the 50-60 range, got some progress to report..

Finally.. I hate sanding.. Pretty much done, some spots to touch up.

Shot the primer last night, looks great from far away! :dry: Expenses kept me from sandblasting and powdercoating, but ill never do this again. Goes to a pro next time.
