Re: Nearly finished
Few more as progress happens.
No decals , everything is airbrushed on.
I am not a fan of the gold callipers, so I went with the gunmetal. Still original, just on the Blue KR1s
The cone washer was a pain, I got black versions form a zx600 and I recon they suit the bike much better than the White, I also made a gasket so the metal washers does not score the paint work. I used black nylon washers on the black paint and clear on the green.
Small details but it all counts.

I was building it to ride every now and again however it turned out better than expected. It would be a sin to take it on the road.
Stone chips
Bird shit
Finger prints lol
Still on the wall but i will probably keep her under wraps

Hi Andy
Bike looks fantastic, do you have the paint code for the frame and forks. Im thinking of re-doing mine and yours looks spot on.
