Ace, won’t be to everyone’s taste. However it is certainly a head turner, well done. Wish I had your skills.

...a lot of work, great craftmanship, nice colours but why do people use these good skills to modify a good Kawasaki that much ?
That's my personal opinion. The bike is transformed into something that only fits for one person and that probably someone else won't completely like. But then again it's only my opinion.
I know, it's a personal choice and one can do with his bike whatever he likes and he can personalize it the way he wants but why change it that much ? I wonder if the owner can get it MOT 'ed in the years to come...
I hope he can.

Very good engineering work, but I think the chain guard is a tad too long !
