here is the sprocket cover all paitned up in a deep glossy black paint. I was going to paint the starter cover glossy black but decided to leave it crome, It really looks bitching. Here's the sprocket cover

Well kz rider, i got some bad news to report. I was out on the 650 today trying to get all the bugs worked out berfore i got to put it away for the winter:( . I was riding down the street in front of my house, went to take a corner and didn't notice the loose gravel. Well you guys guessed it, i went down on the right side. The are a few scratches on the tank, the points cover got all f-ed up and the bars got bent, and the v&h muffler got a bit of road rash :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: . It's all fixable, but now i guess it's going in the garage until i can fix it. I was thinking about a repaint. In the spirit of a GPZ. I think i wanna do a blue and silver paint scheme. Ill post pics tommorow. But on the upside i bought a set of clubman handlebars and a cafe racer fairing.
