i bought my dads kz1000LTD that he bought from Kawasaki east in nashua NH brand new after it had sat in our garage for at least 20 years. She started life as a full touring ride but with some seriouse stripping like you read about and a little tlc i got her looking and running great...until she dies like a week ago, but here are my before and after pics of the body and paint and eventualy ill throw my pics of the engine break down and rebuild.

The body shop manager that i work with wanted my bars and my sissy bar so i traded him those for a paint job...most would agree i made out on the deal by finding a set of moto X bars in box marked FREE on the side of the road.

Cool looking bike there! I've been letting the idea roll around in my head of painting my 750E green also. Since it's a Kawasaki and it will never look original, I think it will be OK. Is that the green of the Ninja Monster Team that you used?

81 KZ750E2(project), 81 KZ750E2(parts donor), 87 BMW K 75C - got it runnin, didn't care for it, holding for family member, 79 CB650(project) Nomad 1700, VStar 950

no its actually a green i picked out of a bunch of a buddies car swatches, it turns out its the special edition mustang GT green... but it does look alot like the monster team green now that you mention it.
