Hope the pictures post OK

Here's my 88 KZ1000P. Was used as a Park Ranger bike and then sat for a long time. Bought it last summer and enjoyed a few hundred miles of riding. New chain, sprocket and pads to start. Took it apart over the winter and just blasted and painted the frame and swingarm. Has good compression but needs new gaskets, etc. Will keep this post updated.

Cool man! I seen some dudes do some sweet work on these police bikes that I never would have imagined. You gonna keep the paint colors? I think they look nicer then the standard balck and white. Gives it some character!

Happy Wrenching and keep the photos coming!!

I am considering a silver gray color scheme with a black stripe and white pinstripe. At least that's what I'm thinking this week. Once this one is done (Lord willing) I'd like to do one in an army camo motif.
Here is a image of the frame before and I'll follow with some updated photos
