Drilled and tapped a hole to relocate ignition.
Slapped on the front brake caliper after paint and rebuild. Used a braided line and got rid of the splitter. I can only assume that this bike used to have dual calipers due to the splitter but I only received it with 1 caliper and rotor.
Also sanded down the airbox side covers to match the fenders and painted the side covers black to spruce it up a bit.
I was able to take the bike on its maiden voyage around the neighborhood a couple of times. No issues with the zx carbs and fuel delivery. No smoking or backfires, all seem well. Takes about a minute of choke to warm up but afterwards it purrs like a kitten. Couple minor fitment issues, boots from airbox to carbs are too big. I had to ditch the metal clamps and crank down some zip ties to get them to seal, haven’t looked into a replacement yet. Also the airbox won’t bolt onto the stock location of the frame, it would be sitting forward about half an inch. I could fix these issues with airbox boots that are longer and sized appropriately.
Next up I’m gonna see if I can do anything about the seat. Might cut it down or something to have a slimmer profile. The tank needs some attention too with all the small dings, missing badges, and scratches....dry rotted tires too, looks like my wallets gonna get a bit lighter.
