Just checking, but were you going to put a fairing or 'screen' of some sort on this?
Having just gotten back (to the forum) I was jaw-dropped by your build. Nothing but awesome complements; please build some more Kawasaki big bores!!!

Thanks.
No! not putting any fairing or screen on it, just went for the bare bones minimal look and am riding it just as it is.
I do have another build on the go which should end up as a 1428cc Gardner style Moriwaki Z1R superbike with turbo.
Again i'm going for the minimal look and will start a new thread once I have most of the major parts collected.

Zed1015,
What Tach and Speedometer are you using? I saw that it is digital...very cool. You build looks great! How much gas does your tank hold?

I originally fitted a Danmoto Nano cockpit but the tacho packed up after 10 mins and the rest followed 80 miles later ,a real pile of crap 
I replaced it with a Motogadget LED item which is smaller and works perfectly .
The tank holds more than it looks as there is no tunnel etc around 3 gallons-ish , I haven't actually got round to measuring it properly as i'm too busy riding it
Here's a pic of the speedo, the motogadget is the one in my hand.

Fantastic job Zed. Any pics of the painted bike?

As for paint, there isn't any as it would add weight :laugh:
It's staying bare alloy and gets a wipe over with a rag and wd40 every once in a while.

Have you considered filling the tires with helium to reduce unsprung weight?
