hanna,paul here.the gold on the rims was from dupli color and i could only find it in the small cans.the purple turbo was not built by me.my 750 twin is now all black but will be getting a redo soon.i'm going to get custom high pipe made and go with a street tracker setup. i'm building another 77 kz1000 now and might get to the twin this summer.anything else you need to know just ask.

what windsceen is that?.. sooooo sick

Paul, you build some fine bikes, any chance you could post pics of all (or most) of them in a thread?

I never did use most of those GPz parts I bought from you, me and ten6 just keep trading them back and forth

hey steve,i'll try to post all projects.i'm doing another 77 kz1000 now and it's coming out real nice.i have a local thats interested but no cash has changed hands. how isc your fuel inj project coming?

That purple turbo is putting out some strong numbers Wicked job! This is one of the best forums on the net, great bunch of knowledgeable friendly guys & a wackload of beautiful Z1's/KZ's/GPZ's/ect.. Doug

that turbo was 1 bad mother,it would pull the bars out of your hands if you were not careful.he sold that bike a couple of years ago.i also sold my gpz turbo a few years ago it was to much for me.

Nice work, very sanitary!
