Here comes an update...

New Seat (GPZ550 restored)

Checking that everything is straight:

Seat Installed:

After Blowing a tire @ 82 MPH (130KM/H). Yes, i'm alive :lol:

My cousing bike (a great partner

):

Taking measures of my new fairing (i also have the headlight).

I'm thinking on the final paint job, but i've not decided the color yet... i'm thinking in red GPZ color or black...
What do you think guys??
