Cowlings are waiting for the Candy Forest Green Pigment to arrive from England.
This is a silver metallic that is a base over which goes Pearl Green.

Maybe I should take up a cheaper hobby. Horse racing for example.

Now comes the painting of the stripes. We are going to paint them and not use decals.

Clearcoated. Next step - polishing. OFC there will be Chromed Kawasaki Decal on the tank.

Polished multiple layers of clearcoat in order to get flat surface where the stripes were made. Shines like a mirror :mrgreen:

Chainguard problem solved with little modification of KTM one, which I bought from Aliexpress. Japanese flag decal is there to cover original Kick Twenty Minutes logo.
Also mounted crystal clear headlight from Ebay.

Been very busy with some private obligations but still managed to get things 90% done.
Literally any part that i touched needed some kind of work on it, I've been keeping CNC machine in full working order :mrgreen:
Only thing remaining is front mudguard, steering weight end, and that's about it. I can start doing some break in because of the new Wiseco pistons etc.
