1980 LTD 1000

Its all good. I'm going to do everything myself that way if anything is afu its no ones fault but mine. Sending it off to get powder coated didnt work for me I wanted to keep the vin# sticker on it and I dont think that would happen if I got it powder coated. Alot of folks here do alot of mods But call me a purist I like the stock look.
Thats why I got it in the first place I like the look. Well not so much the stripes. I'm going with just Black. I'm hopeing by the end of january, beginning of february it will be done. But that all depends on work. If it gets busy then could be longer.

Well dont let anyone tell you its easy to paint a frame with a spray gun and not make a run. You need to be a spider monkey to cover everything and I'm more like a gorilla :laugh:

Very cool! And you are making fast progress! Keep up the great work!

Finally the I can get back to work on the KZ. Got the motor back in the frame sorry no pics. was going to install the new roller bearings for the tripple tree but I couldnt find the dang things. But I did find a couple of sunglasses I thought were long gone . I'm starting to feel like I'm making some progress seeing it go back together instead of taking it apart.

Found my tripple tree bearings and got a little progress

looking good

keep on trucking

I'm liking it! Looks great so far

Got a little done today.
