Another 81 GPZ. Losing the fat.

Thanks everybody. I still have to finish a few things, seat etc, but it's such a blast I've been riding it instead of working on it. It squeals the back tire like crazy just taking off fast. My buddy Stan calls it the question mark bike since it leaves big question mark shaped skids when i take off. It gets a little sideways sometimes on launch.

The progress will probably have to wait til next year, but I'll probably keep the photos coming and maybe a vid or two on youtube. (The Kerker is quiet but has great tone!)

good job keep the pics coming.

Yes. Waiting for paint, but it's been so much fun with it clear, i haven't had the heart to sand it and paint it. I had a fluorescent light painted red inside it before the maggot. Saw the maggot at Menards and couldn't resist.

looks awesome man, good work!

This thing is fantastic! :woohoo:

I never thought i'd ever see a magot in a Kawi. I thought they ate Hondas.lol
Great job man.

I thought I posted this somewhere, but couldn't find it. It's the current wiring for the batteryless system. I'm posting it for becker to use as a reference.

Great project Lou! You bike looks great.

So when does it warm up in Chicago? Can you ride year round?

Thanks Tony.
Not year round this year, for me at least, last year either... just too much snow. My crazy buddy does get out on occasion, though.

Did a little more work. Took a few more pics.
