No real progress been busy fixing my Kaw ER6, but I did score and old tank from French ebay:


I don't know wether it will fit or not and If I will use it on this bike. It might have get additional bike for this :)

I also found 19-inch Kawasaki GPZ front wheel (similar than the 305 GPZ 18-inch that I already have).
Hopefully the new brake disc will also fit. With the 19-inch front wheel I can use Duplop TTs I have.

The bike has also been outside the garage at least once or twice this summer

I have to say the new seat-tank combo dosn't look as good as the original pic you posted on page 1....but hey whatever is comfortable to you. Still love that tank though!

There really hasn't been any progress in this project. But the latest mock up is done with a Suzuki RG500 tail.
