    @bikequeen - Replacing wiring... what... it wouldn't start or something? After that you'll just have to see what it can do on the dyno! LOL

    Seriously though, I hope you plan to enter some competitions with this one Cricket!

    @brithebuilder Yep! After all that work the damn thing wouldn’t start ;). The extra wire and connectors have arrived…but so has spring….so there will be a delay 🙂

    I must say I have worked on some of the worlds most complex watches in my day, but honestly, I have never done anything like this. The photos don’t do it justice there are such tiny details that no one will ever see. Some of the electrical connections don’t go anywhere…it just wasn't possible and some on the wires pulled out of the harness on assembly and no way possible to replace them…but once again no one will know 🙂

    Still a ton of tiny PE screw and bolt heads to add and some micro painting. And plumbing to add to the handlebars. That should do it.

    And here she is!

    Kawasaki Ninja XZ-RR Is done. One thing I forgot to do is paint the radiator cap :/. It’s not prefect I could pick out 150 faults but I guess we all could on our best projects 🙂

    First this is the bike I tried to emulate

    this is the real bike not a model I “borrowed the pics from https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Racers/kawasaki_ninja_zxrr.htm

    And this is my version

    Thanks for viewing I think I will put this one on the headlines. Maybe tomorrow..we have possible sever weather moving in on us Monday night into Tuesday
