Here comes an update...

New Seat (GPZ550 restored)

Checking that everything is straight:

Seat Installed:

After Blowing a tire @ 82 MPH (130KM/H). Yes, i'm alive :lol:

My cousing bike (a great partner

):

Taking measures of my new fairing (i also have the headlight).

I'm thinking on the final paint job, but i've not decided the color yet... i'm thinking in red GPZ color or black...
What do you think guys??

Red or black is good; black on that bike is much less "done" so that might make it a bit more unique.

Well, I can say that the bike is 95% ready.
KZ550 forks installed, new front fender, new tail cowl, new GPZ Style paint, re-polished and some new chromes

I think that the bike changed since i brought it
