Retrofication !

This is not very retro:

So I cut out some aluminium:

Cover up the Kawasaki-logo with some JB Weld:

Drill, mill and add some bolts:

Milled out some retro shapes in the aluminium:

Glas blasted the cover:

Fit them together and have a look see:

Some heat paint, polish and bling bling..

Thanx Boys !
Your feed back is what keeps me doing that little extra...

Some more detail work:

What do you do when your building a z900 clone and need a side emblem for 1200 cc ?

You make your own :woohoo:
