I had a couple of hours in the shed thismorning and cobbled the start of another project! Im going to fit a zx7r swingarm and 6inch wheel,so dont worry about the arm thats in!
The forks,i think are kawasaki,the engine a gsxr750,frame z1000j,tank z1,seat shortened z650,i think,tailpiece z650,to be changed for a z900,sidepanels,if fitted will be z900. The exhaust can is in the position i'd like to be when finished.

Gonna be a full time job following your projects Dixie!
Looks good, just wondering if you have some German blood in you, looking at that exhaust!

Full time job,you say,that sounds like a good idea,as i get made redundent very soon!(but not soon enough!). I bought a gsx600f yesterday,so a new plan may be hatched,fit 600 everything into zed frame,engine,wiring,wheels,forks..... blast the frame,paint it black,do a new paintjob for the panels.mot it and sell it! Hopefully ready for the start of the summer weather,just not sure which year yet?
