still more....

Unfortunately I think I am going to have to really tear the bike down and degrease damn near everything.

Sounds like you are going to have some fun! Hopefully all goes well, I know how much you want this bike! Keep us posted!

 

Will do... I have put together a preliminary list of body panels and other misc parts (chain, clutch lever) that I will need to replace and will give those to the kawasaki dealer this afternoon and see what they come up with for me. Based upon those costs - it will help me determine how much $ I am willing to shell out for the bike itself. We shall see... is RK Gold still the bomb when it comes to chains?

 

Hey just needs some tender loving care.

 

Expensive TLC at that....

went to the kawa dealer yesterday to get prices on factory painted/decaled parts:

lower left - 426
rear left - 303
main center - 671 (!!!!!)
front fender - 141
clutch lever - 41
front seat - 200
seat release mechanisms/lock - 85

That's not including a new RK Gold chain, sprocks or tune up.

OUCH!

I really want this thing to be as close to original in color as possible, that is the main reason I am looking at factory parts... plus I don't know how things are now, but aftermarket body panels didn't always fit up the best.



Help me obi wan kenobi

 

Instead of getting factory painted parts, could you get someone to match the color and paint it for you? It might be cheaper.

 

ebay it my friend. Dam plastic is expensive. I want a new sharksniz tail for my ZX7 and it's 400.00. I have been saving while fixing the uppers and the lower. Just spread it out a little so it doesn’t hit you all at once.

Post pics on the progress.

 

Welp - so much for that. Got an email this evening from the owner simply stating "Sorry, sold it to a friend for 3k"

This is a good night. Time for Tequila.

 

dude, sorry about loosing the bike. that would have been a sweet project bike. well there's alot more bikes out there. you'll find the right one.
