Nice looking project bike, do you have a link to where the rear shocks came from?

Recieved the seat today. It has new foam and cover, exactly like the z1000r model I think it looks rel nice.

I also bought a little rear view camera and a monitor, just for show but it works fine.


Wow - now that is a cool idea - rear view camera with screen - do you have a link to the unit which you bought and installed?

...always had a liking for vintage, old skool, kawasaki bikes...just don't understand why though.... is something wrong with me....???

Very nice! I am painting mine like his race bike - blue under the white stripe, and no gold pin stripe. Your bike looks killer!!

Now it`s finally finished. I`m pretty satisfied with the result.
Started it up today for the first time after the rebuild. Runs smooth , love the song from the flatslide carbs.

Very nice bike!
Lot of work involved.
Are those rear shocks from a zrx like the swing arm?

Every time I scroll through your thread I have to wipe the drool off my chin when I see the finished pictures! Well done!
