Voodoosoup's 78' KZ 650 makeover.

Figured I'd start documenting all that I'm doing to my bike. I know how you guys like pictures!

Here's where I was. I'm currently in the process of reshaping an LTD style seat to be more of a solo seat.


A little more shaping to the seat




I'm repainting my tank, all the plastics, my chin spoiler and the fender off of the new front end.

if it turns about anywhere near as nice as your z1 ill be impressed !

I almost forgot this.

the last photo...TITS!

No, Z1 here. But if anyone has one taking up space in their garage, I'll gladly take it off your hands!

I bought a HVLP gun from Harbor Freight that I had found a spraying how-to online for.

And I decided to try the Dupli-Color Paint Shop ready-to spray-lacquer that you can find at your local auto parts store. It's a 3 step paint with primer, color and clear.
They also have a little kit that comes with 3 stir sticks and 3 strainers.

They have 6 or 8 colors but you have to use faith and hope the color is what you are looking for. I bought Mineral Gray and it turned out to be a metallic gray.
No mention of the metallic part anywhere on the can!
But that was fine with me. I'm also going to attempt to put a micro flake in the clear coat. I bought it off of e-bay.
