And finally, Wookie's 82 begins !

Been back on it today wrapping up the hand controls, I hit a small bump in the road in that the "narrow" bars I bought were too short for the furniture to clear the nosecone ( ZX6R switches and throttle, ZRX master cylinders) so I had two choices, replace or extend ? If I had replaced I would still need to have wheighted them for vibration reduction. As it happened the chrome bars I removed were weighted already so I cut a pair of extensions and welded them in   I have also turned a pair of bar end finishers (purely aesthetic)
So finally a milestone moment today ( the wheels hit the floor for the first time in nearly two years) still lots of small jobs to do but "break down" for refurb and beautification is looming 

Wookie58 is displayed on your machine.

A big day !  Congrats Guy

Looks great Wookie  much work payd off !.I like the seat toI have not read the tread thrugly ,but are the wheels from yama xjr 1300 or are they zxr ?. I assume that color is just primer ?  One option that may clear the cowling is using TT clip-ons or plase the steeringbars upsidedown ,but that will not make the ride position so comfortable.
edit i saw now its suzuki gsx wheel

That's looking absolutely fantastic mate. Can't wait to see it when it's all finished and painted. What colour is it going to be?
Is there any engine work required?

yes Rolf the yellow paint is filler/primer. The cowling issues are resolved 

Seeing that your bodywork (side-covers) blend in much the same way as the Z900RS,
I think it would look SMASHING in this livery !!!

There is also a "filthy rumour" that I have a 1100 uni cylinder block (74 or 75mm pistons required) and a complete Uni ignition system also
