All done, Picked up the bodywork from John today, Beautiful job as always, Bolted it all together and then went to bolt the mirrors on and one of the tabs is broken off the upper fairing mount, DAMMIT..... Lucky I have a spare and I had it powdercoated when I did the rest of the gear, Took off the top fairing, clocks etc etc and refitted and fitted the mirrors,
Looks great, Now to finish off my LC I started, I almost have a roller... :)

Amazing work on this one. Thanks for sharing it here.

I have vivid my memories of wanting one of these when they were new and I was small enough for it to be a full size bike.
Funny how I ended up with an RZ.

Great job! Cool little bike. I bet it didn't break your back moving assemblies (or the whole bike for that matter) around in your shop. How much do these little guys weigh?

Thanks guys. She’s a little ripper. Weighs very little. Definitely one of the easier bikes to move around :)

The mirrors and the indicators are there to make these road legal, not for looks (tho mirrors are for glances, er...)

Have to agree mark. And the indicators. But they were stock on the USA model. 😬
