Rickman's on 650, and Blue!

I've been working on some mods, as listed in my signature over the Winter. Here are some pics of the progress:

This is at the end of Fall:
.


Wheels off to do the bearings. I thought I may as well paint them while their off:

Wheels painted:
.


Headlight ears removed and Upper fairing support added:
.


Rickman fairing on. I will be painting it shortly:
.






I still need to mount turn signals and do some wire and cable routing. I lowered the tripple clamps on the forks as much as the Clubman bars would allow, approx 1/4 inch.
As well, the battery needs to go back in so I can test the KZ1000 Electronic Ign. set up and adjust timing if necessary. Also to make sure the WG coil wiring mod was done properly.

It's the end of January and we have above freezing temps here, as you can see by all the rain. Another month and Spring will almost be here!

And here in Blue.

That Rickman looks sweet on your bike, Rob!

I remember when you scored the deal on that fairing. Did I tell you that I still hate you for not shipping it to me for my 650? :laugh:

Are you planning on painting it to match the rest of the bike, or repainting the whole bike again, or even a different color?

Hey Rob, that 650 of yours is coming along nicely. That fairing looks right at home there. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm loving this weather we're having here in Ontario. Yesterday would have been a perfect day for a ride if my carbs were still on the bike.

Rob, That rickman and chin scoop DONT look right on your bike !! You need to take them off and SEND them to me, I'll pay the shipping for ya !!!! Ok OK , all kidding aside man thats gonna look sweett when its all painted up. Another thing, all you 650 guys need to post more pic's in the gallery !!!


the 1000 guys are beating us to heck !!!!! Wayne

Man that faring is awsome, the wheels look good too.I've been following the 1000 ign. swap ,I am really interested in how it turns out.

Looks good Rob.

I thought WI was on the northern end of this "heat wave" but if your above normal and raining in January lets keep the global warming going!

Is that a HONDA chin spoiler on yer Kawasaki?!? :ohmy:

SHAME on you!!! LOL


(ok so I've got some Honda parts on mine too)


Looks like it's coming together nicely!



Ride'on,

~CRASH!~

The Rickman fairing looks great on your bike Rob - a very precise fit. I'm surprised how little snow you have:)

Damm that looks great on there. I can't belive how well it fits.

Same here too... it's the middle of the winter and there is no snow at all where I live (about an hour west of Rob) now. I'm liking it... I need to get mine running on a nice day this week...
