An absolute pleasure to read, and an amazing attention to detail Ed.

Excellent photo build production there Mr. Ness!
Quote - " I'm not a professional restoration guy, just someone that has learned a lot" Very nice work Ness!
Ya could a fooled me!
I love that Nason single stage urethane also! I use it on whatever I can with solid colors. And the Trans Star / Marhyde epoxy primer as well!
I also have been using "Matrix" product works great simple 50%/50% color, clear 4:1. I can buy clear for $89 gallon/qt.activator.

So much great info and what a beautiful job !!! Bike of the month was so well deserved.

Have to ask about what you got for that GS1000S. Was surprised when I seen the weight of that guy.... always have wanted one but the cost and to be honest the weight has kinda talked me outta it. Still Torn between a muscle car and another project (love the 77-78 KZ 1000s (semi drag look) with spoked wheels, low bars etc) ......if I pick the later I will follow this guide to the letter.

The GS1000S is about the same weight as a KZ1000. They are both similar bikes in many regards. Value is a notch below a Z1R, but still pretty decent. There is a lot of bad information out in the internet about the number of S's produced; they were a limited release model but not as rare as some claim them to be. At any rate, I made money on both the S's I redid, but I'm not interested in doing another.

+1 Very nice work ED....

Thank you for reminding me of what a pleasure it is to ride a KZ750, I almost forgot, its winter here and I haven't been on it for a while, I almost traded it for a Kawasaki Concours, the owner said it was too big for him.

Looks like a brand new bike, respect

Nice work, you make it look easy!

Fantastic Work Nessism. What a beaut!

Just stunning attention to detail.
One of the nicest Kawasaki's I've ever seen restored.!

Updated the photos in this thread! Yeah! Freaking Photosuckit can put it where the sun don't shine! Unbelieveable that they would have the audacity to want to charge people $400/year for a service that was previously free. At any rate, all better now!

Yeah considering it's only $15 for a 32 G card and you can keep them forever.
