Well.... started the winter refurb on the bike. Immediatley hit a minor snag in my origional plan though.. i had intended to sand off the (peeling) laquer from the fuel tank, and then give it to rocky to re laquer.. unfortunaltey, the tank decals aren't decals, but stenciled in paint, so it came off along with the laquer...
other than that, its down to a frame engine and suspention, all bodywork is off, as are wheels and fairing brackets. Swing arm was sprayed with parafin, worked over with a 1/2 inch paint brush, and wiped off - EVERYTHING is like new, as it had lived under a liberal coating of chain lube!
origional graphics are proving impossible to find, so the dilema now is do i try and go for th stock look using bespoke decals, or go kawasaki green and go for the modified look.....
