Pretty weak progress today unfortunately. I wasn't able to get as much done as I wanted because I have to take the rear wheel into the painter's tomorrow so he can match the tank color to the wheels. I did get the swing arm and rear shock into place, got the exhaust on, rear brake lever/master on, grips on, a few miscellaneous items. Hopefully I won't have to leave the wheel with the painter and I can finish putting the rear of the bike together.



Sorry for the bad pics, hopefully the weather will clear up soon and I can get a few shots of it outside.

Amazing work!

What happened to the original seat for the KZ440? It looked like it was in good condition and may fit my KZ550LTD...

Ok, so I still have to make a seat cover for the bike, and the fuel line is not on, but other than that, I'm saying this bike is done! Here are the pictures....
