Awesome build, following it forever. Although you sound like a bass-head keeping track of every gram xD As a racer I know how much every little bit adds to your P/W ratio. It's nice to see someone taking these classics to their potential and beyond

I started with the good old thick black rubber fuel line. I did not like it, there are too many bends. So I went to Summit and bought this:

Thank you Cory.

I was totally freaked out about cutting these. I don't even know what color this is, all I know is its PPG. So if I trashed anything, it would have been very hard to recover.

I put the photos up so others can see it will turn out if you are patient. It looks "factory".

This is the theme..trying o keep it looking like Kawasaki decided to build a KZ 900 today..

It looks like PPG Hot Licks Orange. My brother and I painted his Factory Five Cobra that color.

Very nicely done. I really like the orange against the silver frame.
