Just thinking out loud, wouldn't it look better if the blue fittings were black? to match the paint job,

I looked for all black connections. I got all of the fittings and braided hose as a kit for much cheaper then it would have cost me to piece it together.

Great progress, I'm also making up a GPZ1100 hybrid but the clothes on mine aren't as pretty, as mine is mostly assembled from spare parts I had in the shed (I had the push the redback spiders away to re-claim my stuff)

That's a thought. I could use the same stuff that I painted the engine with. Satin black duracoat

Why do some 1000s have the oil cooler and some do not? My 80 1000E does not. R

On a stock set up you shouldn't need one.

I had to buy a piece to replace the oil pressure sensor housing so I could run one

Got the exhaust mounted for good. Also picked up a sprocket cover/clutch plate from Kipkawa. I widened the spot for the clutch release to fit a hydraulic clutch from a ZX7. I am also getting the wiring sorted bit by bit including getting the Dyna S wired up. I just ordered new 8mm wires to match my Dyna coils. Progress should pick up again. I took a break from the KZ to get my Honda painted and cleaned up. And since we all love pictures, I leave you with a picture of my 81 Honda Supersport

Got some work done in the shop

Got the coils wired up and got this:
