Hey all -

First let me thank many of you whose assistance made building this bad boy possible. It has taken me 4+ years, many nights in the garage, many nights daydreaming, and about 10K to complete. I just got back from my maiden voyage to snap some pics and cruise around. It is fast and looks exactly the way I pictured it would when finished .. old, but new!

I posted a bunch of pics in the gallery (in hopes of getting on the Bike of the Month radar, heheheheh) :-)

Here she is ...... please let me know what you think ..

Very, very nice, very, very clean and very, very tasteful, there's absolutely nothing about it I don't like - great job. And those front rotors are sweet.

:P I actually just got some sticky rubber glue from the craft store and put them on about 3 minutes ago. Wasn't sure how to fasten them without screwing up the paint. Figured I would go for the rubber glue stuff. I'ma take her for a spin in a few and pray they stay on.

Definitely looks better with the badges. I'll have to snap a pic and post later.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I admit I was exctited to post the pics here and get everyones reactions. I don't know anyone else who even knows what KZ or Z1 is. My neighbor thought it was a new model. He has a ZX11. He asked if I wanted to trade ... :laugh:

Out friggin standing!

I personally wouldn't touch the tank with badges for you already have them on the side covers.

Extremely clean lines and detailed work, excellent!
Just love it..

When I see completed projects like this, then I know it's still worth the extra time, energy and $$$ we all put into our envisions/creations. Truly beautiful!
