This area needs some TLC!!!

She definitely needs a lot more TLC, but for the moment, I am just trying to get her decent enough to ride through the season and not be too embarrassed by some of the things that I still need to work on! LOL!

The handlebars are Woodcraft Clipons, and yes they are the stock controls. They are not the cheapest on the market, but they are nice! I got the from Azetc8.com if you are interested. Make sure you select 36mm for your fork tube size or they may end up not fitting (unless you swap out forks from a non kz...then measure...).

The engine case paint, is just some high temp, engine enamel. I can't remember the brand (Duplicolor maybe??), but they sell it at almost all auto parts stores. I either got mine at Autozone or Advance Auto. Hope this info helps you...

Ok, so I finally got my seat and pan from Airtech! Apparently, the Fed Ex guy had been trying to deliver it for about a week because he needed a signature!! All that is left at this point is:

1. Mount headlight and front turn signals

2. Finish painting body parts

3. Upholster seat pan, mount seat and seat pan

4. Mount and wire tail light, and license bracket (with plate, lights, and turn signals)

5. Not forget to attach the rear brake light switch spring

6. Ride my transformed two-wheel-wonder

Here is a new pic...took it tonight with my crappy cell phone camera, but will get a decent pic soon to show off:

Little update with a (slightly) better pic. I padded and covered the seat pan today. It's not a pro job, by any means, but will do for now. The blue vinyl looks great in contrast the the omaha orange paint!
