I want to paint my engine too but everybody is telling me that will overheat the engine, is that true? did you notice something like that on yours? what kind of paint should i use?
Any help will be appreciated

I've had no overheating issues & like you i read all that......then i came to the conclusion that if it were true Kawasaki wouldn't have painted any their air cooled engines.......like a GPz750/Turbo.
Remember though my country probably runs 10-15 degrees C less every day, i don't think thats a huge factor though

Thanks Lou, means alot coming from you. Thank you for all your help on the wiring etc during my build, i really learned alot which is what doing these builds is all about for me.........the next project i talked to you about just might put manners in me though! :lol:

very nice job sir.

That is beautiful. Nice job man,

I dont want to be the guy who calls out a flaw but double check the drive direction on that front tire. Rain water being led to the center of the wheel can cause hydroplaning. No bueno on two wheels.

Thanks Leon, & thank you for your idea about fork fitment for my next build, turns out it's a safe enough used cos Moriwaki & Ohlins sell those sleeves!!

Thanks for the lookout. All is on the correct way but I know where you're coming from. My Dunlop NTec front on my race bike looks the wrong way round too. I dunno why they fit like that but there must be a reason

Looks good!
