Gray, black and chrome. This bike looks great!
The gloss black engine cases and covers are very nice. Did you paint them or powder coat?

Very nice bike, the Ltd's are my favorite bike to ride.

originally i had purchase the bike for the motor and carbs but it has grown on me. just need to finish the rebuild on the 29mm and done.

80B4...dont think its Powder Coat...paint came off purty easy from the side covers with sand paper

Swest...
Bout of ebay along with the matching rear caliper arm.

That's a really sweet looking ride :woohoo: :woohoo:
The seat looks great too, I was thinking of getting one of those........any chance for a review on the seat? Also what are the hand controls from? they look pretty cool and fit the bike perfectly

The seat pad is thin and hard...I don't think is a seat for long hauls. Also if you have a LTD tank you'll have a gap between the front of the seat and tank. Fit better on a A model bike...
As for the hand controls( clutch and brakes) bout off ebay from China.
So far so good...lever little short because the wiring from the switch blocks don't let the controls come together any closer.

That's the same kind of seat I bought from Z1. Yeah, had to add some padding. Hard as a rock. Will buy a better aftermarket seat cover when this one wears out. I wanted the seat pan more than anything else. Mine was shot after 40 years. Got my L control from z1partsinc.net. Will get the R soon. Good stuff but had to pay CA sales TAX.
