Kawasaki AR50 restoration

[komp]

Sorry but that would drive me insane.

same here

never understand the whole laquering of decals anyway, they typically don't come from the factory like that
I had a nsr125 tank resprayed a few years back as was getting rusty, told them not to lacquer the decals
i get it back, not only had they lacquered the decals, they had lacquered the tankpad!!

I specifically asked them to lacquer the decal as I prefer the look

Sandpaper. Just sayin'...

Liking the idea of getting a spare rank done.

This is a future classic.

Can you not go back to the paint shop and say 'you put the badge in the wrong fucking place.  Fix it'?

[Dom1]

Is it going to be as nice as this?

[Phil_8]

That is the exact same fairing that I have for mine (that is their demo bike)

I'm going for a different colour scheme though

Lack of updates on this can be put down to dark and cold winter with lack of a garage.
My engine should be done now, but I've been on a few holidays recently so funds are a bit short so I'm keeping quiet so a couple of months and hoping they don't notice it sat in the corner of their workshop haha

That looks fucking awful......

[Phil_8]

YOU look fucking awful -_-


=p

[Dom1]

BOOM!

That's you told.

[MOzZereLLa]

That looks like that home-made "motorcycle" that did the picture rounds on facebook a while back.

It's fucking awful and I don't give a shit what you think. If you want to ruin a perfectly good classic like that crack on.

AN UPDATE!!!

Had a few things back from the powder coaters (still no engine yet though.........)
I ummed and arrrghd about the colour of the wheels for a long time, as I am not a massive fan of gold, but came to the conclusion that with the unconventional colour scheme I have going on, keeping the wheels to how they are on the model bike was the way to go. Hopefully I wont regret that decision once its done.
The swingarm has a really nice, unexpected fleck in it.











I also hope that these tryres stay on properly. although they are the right size, they are not meant for the bike, but I didnt want to use the shitty standard ones

Look forward to seeing it coming together.
