Hi there from the land of the snow!

hi


yea... its ugly all right. some people.... *sigh*

Ah Wisconsin...moved away in 1974. Welcome to KZR.

Wisconsin, I am sure it is very nice!
As long as your not a cult member belonging to Quad Graphics!
Phuck the Quadracci, bow tie wearin Family! They closed my shop in New York. So glad I got to retire early with a buyout. And that I filled 2 pick up truck beds full of their stuff the last 2 days the doors were open.
When 2 of my union brothers were distributing Harlequin books from Depew.
Thanks for the Harley plant too! AND CHEESE!
SORRY FOR THE TANGENT, BUT THIS SITE NEEDS NEW TYPE ALL THE TIME.
Keeps it interesting

lol I'm nowhere near Sussex. thats a good 4-5 hours away. no ties with Quad Graphics or any union lol. think north of Eau Claire. small town world up here.

it just snowed here again today... yay. and freezing rain.

Welcome to The KZR Forum. Your bike looks to have great potential. I especially like the black tank with the green pinstripe. Hope you can save or keep that graphic scheme.

sadly there is no saving the current paint. there is a LARGE rust spot on the left side and there was a small little rust dot by the seat the turned out to be a huge patch under all the paint. its also missing the tail and left side cover. grr. Im pretty sure i'll keep the paint scheme original tho. i may add a few more green accents. they would have to be small and look stock if I do go that route tho.

my dad has a fairly large auto body shop and his spraying abilities far surpass mine lol. The problem is convincing him to do it! My thoughts are gloss black and a mile of clear. Then i would like to find someone to hand pinstripe it rather then use stickers
