Got some cv34mm carbs instead of vm33mm. Just cleaning them up. Still waiting for my 1075 kit and block to come back from being machined.

As you can see here the Kerker looks real good except the nameplate had to be painted. Wasn't easy. I will be looking for an old nameplate.

Alot to be done yet. Still waiting on the block. Took some time to make a ignition cover with Kawasaki on it in Japanese. It is an aftermarket polychrome cover. Also put on the Dyna S ignition and coils. I am waiting to put on the GS150 swingarm. I will post some more pics.

The Nelson B.C. Canada area. Its called Rocket Restoration (A.K.A. The Batcave). It is a private KZ shop that is not public yet. It will be opening at a comercial location at some point in life for anyone who wants to send their bike in to get souped up. I am sure that I will post that when it happens. There are lots of riders in B.C.
