As has been mentioned in a couple other threads and has been noted in my sig instead of the XS1100 i was about to buy that got sold behind my back i wound up making a deal on this bike instead. it is a 1981 Kawasaki GPz550. Basicly from what i have read about the bike thus far it is basicly a hot rodded KZ550 that got hotter cams along with high compression pistions. as well as a revised position on the pegs and pedals. This example is a lil rough as you can see and has been further modified with the addition of a supertrapp header and 4 into 1 exhaust. The main things it needs right now are both tach and speedo cables..along with fork seals and rear shocks. As well as some repairs to the charging system. In the order im doing things the Interceptor (aka project Shadow) will be recieving some repairs first then this bike will get the attention it deserves.
Basic plans involve changing the signal lights for smaller ones..possably the LP units on the yellow Interceptor on the rear and i will get ahold of a pair of matching ones up front of course. As well as removing the rear grab bar..havent decided if the bike will be getting its quarter fairing back or yet...that detail alone will determine what will be used as signal lights on the bike because if it isnt small LP oval lights it may be the same ones being used on the interceptor with rubber spacers to make sure they clear the fairing. Essentially this bike will be semi restored and ridden while the Interceptor and the GS1100G will recieve the complete overhauls...
Now on to pics...
