Now this is where i am at the moment will be taking my time on it,want it to look real good when it's done.And the anther thing is that spares for bike are not cheap back here especially when you have an old school bike because the spares are scars to come by.And if it has to be imported then we pay dearly for it,so i don't even go that route,have to make do with what we have back here.I am going to miss riding bitch.

Good luck with you J. I have mine about 85% complete and it sure does make a nice ride. Regarding the back tire, i just put a 120 X 18 on it, which is a little wider than stock. Best move so far though was going to a 38 tooth rear sprocket (it had a 42 on it when I bought it). A little lazier out of the gate, but sure does make for a much better ride. Enjoy!

One question for you if I may....Where did the cover on your forks with the reflectors come from? All the ones I've seen have "Kawasaki" on them. Perhaps it is some sort of international thing. Also, attached is a pic of my 82.
