Getting closer to being finished...painter still has some shadows and more clearing to do. Not sure about the "Kawasaki" and "MKII" decals but it's too late now! They will be fully covered in clear so it will be smooth over them. Hopefully they'll look good when the whole bike is together.

i;m partial to badging gives it a certain custom/stock look like you went into the dealership and designed your own paint scheme.

Great job!!

FINALLY got my stuff back last week. Everything looks really nice. You can't feel the decals at all....it's totally smooth....many coats of clear and lots of wet sanding. I'll post some pics but they look a lot better in person than they do in the pictures:

I can't wait to get it out in the sun and get some better pictures of everything all together. It's also been nearly a year since I've ridden this one so it's about time!
