Kawasaki GPZ 550 rebuild~2 bikes

last summer we bought 3 bikes; a 1980 Kawasaki 750LTD twin and then 2 of the same bike, 1983 GPZ 550.
the 750 got made into a little "bobber" and sold right away , one of the GPZ is already café racer, but really not impressed with it, and then the 3 one is mine it will be my 4th bike, I've had 2 ninjas and a Buell before.

ready for some pics?
1980 750 LTD

mid mod:


done




the café:


and then mine

right of the truck, day of purchase:



day 2:


later


and after a LOT of sandblasting, here's the powdercoating:



and the color


here's some of my "inspiration" pics for it:





so I guess I'm going for a street fighter/Café wanna be bike...LOL
the pipes are wrapped, and we added fork boots too
my hubby owns a firearm manufacturing business so he builds guns for a living, barrels and all kind of good stuff...he recently started to do hydro dipping for gun stocks and I think I will have him do my bike this summer
haven't decided what pattern , but I think it'd be pretty cool!
