Kiwi KZP

KZP fork gaiters on the Suzuki too. She's a tiny part Kawasaki!

I have started putting together the triple clamps with new steering head bearings and new stainless bolts. Looks really sweet. Forks are nearly ready to go, just waiting for the new springs to arrive and they will be back together.

Sweet lookin' workshop there cuz! Just rolled a z750E into my garage today. Got stuck in with the simple green, degreaser and the kroil. All corrosion be gone! Go the Highlanders!

They really beefed up those frames. I got a lot of work to do on mine. :whistle:

Hurricanes all the way!

Got back to the bike again today and had a list of things to get done. Only got about half way through the list but made some progress at least. Sandblasted a whole a lot of bits that needed painting. Mostly just odds n sods. Put new bearings in the rear swingarm and fitted that up which was cool. Very satisfying getting stuff like this finished.

With the swingarm in I can finally fit the newly refurbished Showa shocks. Sweet!! Only stumbling block was having to remove the powder coating from the mount so the shock would fit. Love my dremel, love would be hard somedays without it lol. Fitted the rear guard and tail light too while I was at it. Starting to look sortof like a bike again.

Is it just me but buying new nuts and bolts is like being a kid at the lollie shop!

The clocks on this bike were pretty buggered from some long past crash so I thought I would give them a sort out. The rev counter is a mess and has been repaired with some weird goo. Both mounting pins have broken and the oil light red bit has fallen in. Also the glass looks like someone drove through a puddle but on the inside! I will try and find a new rev counter but until I do have to make do with what I have so to bits it comes. Wasn't to much of a major to get inside, just a bit of patience lol! All sorted, back together and mounted and it looks good.

Nice.

Started on the forks today........nasty! Pure black and grey goo with evil sediment sat the bottom of each leg.

Will clean the legs up and then off to the powder coaters.
