Because trying to paint it in the bike (or taking it back out again) would be soo much easier and frustration free. :lol:

That's 'Future Ty's' problem :rolf:

 

[R13]

That guy's gonna hate your ass. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Probably won't give a shit then... Just like now :mrgreen:

 

[94RS]

Kinda loving this rebody kit...

Based on those derpy looking 03-06 Z1000's

Supposed to give it the look of the original Z1/early KZ900

 

[R13]

Buy it.

 

[94RS]

Or... Try to figure out what I did with the stator for the POS KZ I already own :rolf:

This seems like a cheaper option.

 

[94RS]

I already have a POS Kawasaki and I know I shouldn't... But I really want to :lol:

I'd be disappointed if you didn't... :lol:

You could always sell the black turd.

 

[94RS]

I've already got too much money in that black turd... Could keep it as a project bike :lol:

But there's a few concerns about that GPZ. First, the fucking year... They're advertising it as a 1983, but it's twin shock, which is 1981 only. The big giveaway is the bodywork.

82-83's looked like this

81's like this

And the front wheel on that one is a 7 spoke, which is right for an 81. But the rear wheel is a 5 spoke, which is 82-83.

 

[R13]

It's probably been rebuilt, I mean how many of those fuckers do you see in one piece? :lol:

I've only seen a few bikes like that and they were in pieces in a barn gathering dust.

 

[94RS]

There's a few 82-83's I see every now and then at bike night and vintage bike night. Most were turned into shitty cafe racers though.

 

[R13]

What a waste...

 

[94RS]

:lol: You're even agreeing that it's a waste... Is my old shit growing on you?

 

[R13]

I guess I figure I might as well accept it, looks like my only hope of ever getting to ride again. :rolf:
