DP3601:
That plastic turned out looking great! Ill have to try that on some of my old plastic for my 125. I have always been a fan of the gold rims. Much better than the black. Looking great and not spending much!
umberto:
Thank you DP3601. I was really surprised how well it turned out, and it didn't take that long either. I'm going to have to do the front number plate though, because the side panels make it look dull. :-D
umberto:
I forgot to add this shot when I was posting Sunday. I don't think this one is salvageable. :-o

So I got the cases welded up at my local welding shop. I think it turned out really nice, especially after I filed it down. I put the cases together and there was no light coming through, so I was pretty satisfied.
I finally had to spend a little money on the bike, but I think it will all increase the value. I added upper and lower chain rollers, chain and sprockets, all new factory Kawasaki shifter and kickstart seals, sprocket seal from Cometic, Tusk magnetic oil drain bolt, Tusk clutch perch, Tusk vent hose, Tusk kill switch, and FMF pipe springs and o-rings.
The motor was treated to a new right side bearing (the one in the motor came off with the crank and I just didn't want to chance it), Wossner Piston, and Cometic gaskets.
I worked for about 10 hours today, but wasn't able to get to starting the bike. The crank threads on the ignition side are a little boogered, so I am going to order a left hand thread die to clean them up. I got a ton done even without starting the bike. All I have left is to put the ignition on, connect it, add the radiators, and put on the pipe and silencer. Then's it's out for a break in, and back on Craigslist. The best part is this counts as selling a bike, which I assured the very patient Mrs. Umberto I would do. :-D
umberto:
I also found these for the swingarm. Kawasaki stopped making the swingarm graphics, and the bike only had them on one side. I don't have any extra swingarm graphics, but I think these will work nicely.
