Rebuild of KZ1000J engine

What a sweet machine. 

OK Jonas, now she has her new coat you can't hide from me any longer 

I'm guessing it will feel like a rocket no matter what bars are on it.  

Just before Christmas I finally got the tank, fender, tail and covers back from the paint shop. New solid black (Saab 170) with 6 layers of clear coat, 3 before decals then 3 after. I am very pleased by how it turned out:

 

Also got a new snorkel and some fasteners from CMSNL that I installed. 

-20c now... wish it was spring already so I can take a long ride and just listen to the inline 4!

Absolutely beautiful.

Looks mighty fine in Black 'n Gold !

Now that’s a stunner. I’ll put it on my shortlist of the most beautiful KZ's I’ve ever seen. 

Super nice!!!

Where did you source the decals?

Hi

I bought them on eBay from a UK company called classicmotorcycledecals2:
Edit: tried to post a link here but I can't get it to work, search: "KAWASAKI Z1000J Z1000J2 COMPLETE RESTORATION DECAL SET BLACK MODEL"
Edit2:  Z1000J decals on eBay
The paint shop commented that they were a bit difficult to apply. I don't know if it was just a way to bump the price tag...They came out nice at least!
