Lee Chambers Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi guys, well yet again here is another 70's Kawasaki. Going to paint it in Candy Gold Metal Flake, should be very psychedelic. I have made a start this morning. Also the kit came with this cool poster of a different bike called the Kawasaki H1 500, check out those groovy boots! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Chambers Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi all, been sweating it out trying to build this Kawa, early starts and the odd late evening have got me this far. I have to say this has been a complete pleasure to work on, by far the best bike kit I have put together so far. It has amazing attention to detail, the parts go together like a full size bike. For example the front brake caliper has individual proper molded bolts to hold it to the fork slider, there is an ignition key barrel and top and bottom fork tube clamps. Also the frame is built as the real bike, then you fit the airbox and engine. It even has separate chain adjusters and cylinder head, all of the fins are individual and have to be separately glued in place as was the cylinder barrel. I hope to have it completed by this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
