They are running new electric lines around here and we have been loosing power every day and my modem has been having fits. I did manage to get the gauge cluster on and started wiring everything up when I ran out of gas for my soldering iron so it'll have to wait till tomorrow. I'll get some more pics up tomorrow evening.

All done except now I'm waiting on the head, doing some shop cleaning so I shoved it outside for some pics.
I'll be riding by friday if it shows up tomorrow. I do know that seat is going, I believe I'm going with the one from Z1E, much cleaner looking.

Thanks guys and there are a lot of little things on here. I did make the gauge mount, bowls, wiring cover, and top tree specifically for those gauges. The handle bar risers were made to take kz top clamps. The brake splitter was made to fit the ZX mount and notch and fit in the center. Working on getting a cover made that resembles the front cover of an LTD with Kawasaki in it to cover it up. Made the battery box to fit the ballistic 12 cell battery and still have stock location of the electrical panel. Made the bracket to hold the lower side cover on the left side, original is on the battery box. Made the rearset on the right to be able to use the stock location of the master cylinder, that really cleaned up the rearset issue of having the master cylinder on the outside. Obviously the swingarm and shock mounts, total bolt in with no frame mods. Fender eliminator setup, plus a bunch of little things like reservoir mount, brake arm and other assorted tabs.

I did see a bolt not tight that I missed, these pics are better than staring at it for hours I guess.

The gauges are carbon fiber ultra lite series from autometer. I bought them to use on the Z1R which I decided to hold off on till were moved and I have a new shop with more room to work in.
This pic is of the faces showing the neutral and oil lights on.

No, started to but didn't have material handy when I was thinking about it and they are fairly cheap thru Z1E. I had the blue APE's here but didn't like the blue with the rest of the bike.
