75/5

Those handlebar clamps are so elegant compared to the current standard solution. Not as convenient, perhaps, but a lovely detail and really evocative of the era.
 
Got all the new cables and wiring looms routed,
What I don’t have ,is an ignition switch,headlamp glass and reflector and the chrome ring.
I can purchase these parts new but,,,, kerrrrrrching:comfort
Maybe someone has them :D
Excuse mucky paw prints :augie

I've had the pleasure of seeing lots of restorations unfold on the Kawasaki Triples Club of which I'm a long time member, I've even been involved in a couple (from a safe distance) this restoration is IMHO, right up there....stunning
 
Not really,busy with other stuff.:thumb


This bike is really stunning in the flesh. The design has style and design details that are absent in later models IMHO. It’s really talking to me but sadly my piggy bank is empty :nenau

Affordable credit terms are available:augie
Seriously though,
This bike is for sale,it’s pretty much just awaiting the paintwork.
Both the small and large tanks will be with the bike.
I’ll admit to bottling it ,I’ve instructed my painter to do it black with with white pinstripes.
Pics from tonight.
Sorry about the domestic crap in my workshop,been using it for storage while the house was getting some tlc

There’s a few more bits to get,
The brand new gold plated headlamp parts don’t come with clips or a bulb holder,
It needs side panels but U.K. suppliers out of stock at the mo.
And I need to make a decision on what ignition system to fit.
