Thanx for all the nice feeback guys !

TurboGuzzi: The black is "heat paint" good for 800 degrees Celcius...donow in that Farenheit 9/11 thing you use

Will do the head and cylinder in that black paint so I use it on all black engine parts.
To harden it I run it over with a heat gun (?) Is that the word...looks like a hair dryer for men :lol:

Anyway, got a big job done today.
The oil cap got a make over...

Tjena !
Yepp...det är min hoj förra hoj. Hade ca 40 pers som var intresserade så jag plockade ut 2 som fick titta och första killen tog den direkt. Skulle nog begärt mer...men jag fick tillbaka vad jag lagt ut på det. Har även samma tråd som denna på sporthoj.com

Kör du gammel-Kawa oxå ?

For English use Google translate

Yeah I think you could have asked a bit more, 30 000:- seemed to be what the materials had cost you, I think around 40-50k would have been a fairer price...but that might not have generated 40 peoples intrest, but maybe enough that it would have sold.

Yes I'm into the old Kawas as well, currently have a Z1000R (1983) a Z1000J (1983) and a Z1000 ST (E1 1979) and a GPZ1100 (B2 1982). My plan is to keep the Z1000R and Z1000 ST fairly original, do some light rebuilding on the Z1000J (switching carbs, putting on som Öhlins, swing from a GPZ900R) and some major work on the GPZ like doing front & rear end swaps, fitting a newer fuel injection and getting it to run on E85....but before that I need to get a better working space, but that's on it's way as we speak. So hopefully I'll have a propper build thread up and running next year
