My first kawa. and it was free!!!!!!!

I think Patton is referring to the photos themselves. I had friend that bought a Casio point and shoot camera a few years ago and it had tendency for the pictures to come out with a blue hue. You may be able to adjust the default hue setting on yours to help that out a bit.

Sorry that is has been so long since I've updated but I had another.little.girl on Fri the.13 again lol. I've been off work for the week so.i.got.some work done. I made my seat pan. I made the struts mounted the.seat on a barn door hinge no less. I made the seat pan out of stainless steel diamond plate it looks great imo. The struts are part of sling chair that I got.from value city and it has a full leather sling that im gunna use part of.to.upolster the seat with. I gotta figure out my.spring set up next before I cover.the seat. When I was done fabing for the night I brought it all back upstairs and mocked it all up so I could see the final stance. Let me.know any input good or bad. I'm loving.it tho I'm having so much fun

O ya I plugged the back of the frame. I want some of these plugs pm me the screw on with studs so I just welded a nut and washer in the frame and they screwed on with som lock tite the are nice at tight. They are exactly 7/8 inch which is what most of the frame is so they work great. I got like 8 or 10 more.

very cool keep up the good work like how its coming so far

Ok everybody its been 5 months but I'm back at it again. I have completly started over. I tore it bacl down to the frame and now thee frame is at the media blaster getting stripped. I've decided to go a completly different direction. I am planning a gsxr front end swap and one of les' swingarms with gsxr wheel and brakes with a monoshock setup. I'm hoping to have the swingarm 6" over. The frame is.goimg sassy grass green keeping the tank satin and gunna put a nice cafe style seat on it with rearsets. Kinda 80's dragbike with a twist of streetfighter. and a little cafe thrown in for good measure. I got some free cbr parts yesterday that ima try and barter with the.local motorcycle salvage and get some parts. I will get some.pics.up soon as she is back from media blasting

So another day of work. I couldn't afford les' swingarm so I found another one on craigist with a wheel tire brake rearsets and bolt on extensions. I payed 150 for all of it its off an 04 gsxr. I turned it upside down and machined some adapter to make my factory swingarm pivot bolt work and two stainless washers and she fits great. Mocked it up with the shocks just sitting on top of the swingarm. What do u think guys am I going the right direction???. Frame was sand blasted and sealed haven't painted it yet still some fab work to do

looks good so far !!!
