All right no more pics of booze winter is over Warm weather is here and The rex is getting done and I can get this thing back out doors and start "doing" again...Just waiting for a sprocket from Germany..... Got a mock-up chain to make sure I need what I need works.Got some moly cut to make turn stops,just got to measure them out and make final cuts and weld..JohnT where you been hiding ?

I forgot what these "old" bikes were like IC boxes,ballest,coil leads solderd on. All this to put the new dyna system on came off...

Put all the new rubbers on the frame and tank hold down strap,looks more proper with everything sitting in the right place..

This is the latest so far.Chain is on the way,bike is ready to go down the road under it's own.Clutch pusher plate work get everything is all plumbed in,had to cut just under an inch off the push rod.Had to put the rear fender back on due to the bike getting inspected by DMV once thats done it comes off.The Dyna system works great,fires and idles nice.Now Have to find someone to paint the stock black with gold stripe.Reflectors off of a 2000zrx fit nicely in the slots in the tail that were missing.

Looking great! I'm not sure how strict the CT DMV is, but they might require red reflectors on the back. Not sure - just something else to worry about.

I've seen the stripe kits for the MKII's on ebay. Not sure if you want decals or have them painted? Once that tank gets done it's going to look awesome! I'm tempted to rip apart my MKII and my ZRX and make something new!

Checked a few pics and the one on the clymer manual they all show yellow on the rear sides,one less worry..I'd like to get the strips painted on then clear over them.We'll see..

What bike has yellow on the back? The MKII and every other kaw I can find a picture of has yellow on the front and red on the back. Not being argumentative, just curious to learn.

here's another...

I guess it's a matter of taste ?.No biggie they won't know the dif anyway....as far as I know "it came that way"

"It came that way" Yea, just like the racing baffle in my exhaust!
