Yes I keep it, but have to modify the back and rework the steel frame to support to the fork

Welcome!

Such a lovely looking bike. You put everything together astonishingly well. The bike looks like factory made - fantastic job!

Fantastic looking bike, did you spray the chrome part on the sprocket cover, looks nice black

Thanks, keeping a factory look was the goal.

No, just replace it by a carbon disc



The same for the other side

NISSIN logos painted red? Cool idea!

Where did you get the carbon pieces from, and also is that red nail varnish ??

Awesome looking King! Headlight conversion looks sweet!! I want one too...but its a real bit%h to get any GSR parts here , especially headlight....ebay is the only source...even there not much bits for it...

How is that tail and seat area done? Looks nice and slim!
Are those some tubes/covers on upper and lower forks?

love the headlight, looks more like a decepticon now

Very cool

Carbon parts was made by a friend.
No, it's not mail varnish , it's paint to repair scratches on cars.

You can find the parts here, but I had to buy some brand new to complete.

Tail is slim, yes, it was the goal. All the rear parts, tail, light, seat, frame are coming from a Kawasaki Z1000 2012 ........... and lot of work to fit to the bike.

Yes, there is a tubing on the fork, to make it visually biger (we all want to have a big tube ). It's 63mm diameter and very simple to do : it's PVC pipes, like for wasted water in houses, covered by an aluminium looking film.
It's simple, cheap, but great looking.
The lower cover and front fender are coming from Kawasaki Z1000 2012.

The gun is an after market Arrow for BMW K1300.

Cracking looking Bike

some great detail and ideas you've had great work Kojak

Thanks guys for your coments.

In a couple of days, I will put the list of all job and modifications done.
