tank dish & and new Kawi green paint 77 KZ1000 was created by vick074
Here's a few photos of the tank I dished knee dents into and rolled seams, plus the newly painted tins with Kawi green.

Looks really good! I especially like that you've kept the original suspension and the spoked rims. It retains the character of the original bike. Where did you find those shocks?

Can you share what color you used? It looks a lot like the modern green on the Ninjas.

Thanks, Although not the original suspension, even though they're cheaper Japanese RFY's from Ebay. they are going to give me way more adjustability than the oringial progressives that were on there before.
Big fan of spoked rims too, Buchanans spoke and rim make awesome spoke kits for any adaptation. Rear wheel on this bike is a 16" Harley drop center 16"x3 rim laced to the KZ hub.
