Loving the paint. Very classy indeed. Those gloss black wheels look like liquid!

The wheels are powder coated they do look pretty slick and when your right up on them you will notice they have just a little sparkle 😁💥

Im well pleased with it so far needs the dam engine in 😜😖

Well managed to get hold of a complete unitrack with a good running motor.
Cleaned it up and had a go at spraying 2 pack paint

I went for gloss black came out well I think

Waiting for the paint to harden up for a few days then il get it in the frame.

Looking at exhaust options now

Got to order a offset front sprocket as my dad BORROWED MINE :D

Looking over it I’ve got 3-4 float on the swing arm pivot to sort out.
Then recheck wheel chain alignment.

Keep on building up

ZZR1100 sprockets fit and have about 14mm of offset
Exhaust wise I think you can get Delkevic, Kerker or Hindle new.
