Front brakes with new Stainless bolts (very nice)

Tail piece now fitted, just waiting for the fairing to come back from the painters

Very Nice

love it mate, looks ace

Very Very nice..!

Makes me wanna completely rebuild mine!..One day!

Just out of interest!

Did you use rattle spray cans to paint all the brackets and frame?

Cheers!

Yes Hammerite Silver on the Frame, which is a near perfect match for the original paint colour satin black for the brackets and Plasti-kote silver on the Radiator and oil cooler. I got the Kawasaki Green of e-bay which is spot on.

Looking sweet hoping to do this to mine over the winter months can't beat a good ground up rebuild to keep you busy

looking real nice.............theres a real sense of achievement when completely stripped and rebuilt..top job

Just got fairing back from the painters, very nice job

looking good m8!

not sure the rear spoiler does much gud but looks funny lol

Looking spot on

Want and come do mine now - it's a ground up rebuild , keep you busy


MM!

Very nice!

I've just bought a tatty L3 and am planning a full rebuild and paintjob. If you don't mind, I have a few questions.

1) Where did you have it painted?
2) Are the graphics stickers or are they painted?
3) If they're stickers, where did you get them?
4) And finally, if you don't mind me asking, how much was the paintjob?

Thanks

Nick

I painted all the brackets, frame etc, I got the fairings painted at local garage near where I live in Deeping St James, the chap is a friend of a friend

I managed to keep the graphics as they are over £300 from Kawasaki and the painter made a really good job of masking them off and respraying the green colour, then clear coating it all.

The paint job cost over £250 just for the fairings and mudgaurd, I did all the rubbing down, filling and prep work for the painter though.

Glad you like it.

Mori, if you can post it over no problem, I have some time on my hands now!!!!

I do enjoy doing them up

Think your air ticket over here will be cheaper - you will go home with a cracking tan

Should be starting build two next month some time , the parts are a gathering

What next on your list ?
