Nice air shocks on the back. I'd lose the funky dust shields on the forks (can't remember the names) and put on dust boots. The rest looks good from here.

This is what I'm going for, with the same color scheme that I have on it now. Any suggestions?

I'd keep the fenders or not ride in the rain and avoid mud puddles. Maybe someone else had ideas, I like the stock look and ride all weather.

Welcome aboard! I've done more than a little deer hunting in WV. It's a beautiful state. Here's the 100+ year old school house we stay in. Ed

Nice bike! I thought about restoring to original, but I ended up with an 85 Yamaha xj750 that I'm going to go back stock with.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
That's a sweet lookin bike Swest.
Wish our weather looked that good too.
Weather looks more like 650ed's pic.
Will post some pics of mine when weather clears.

Bossie (the Kaw) sat for 15 years. Went through her front to back. A lot of parts from Z1E, some eBay and elbow grease. What I put in her, I get back that much more.
