I'm trying to remember in what order things went together. I shoulda taken more pics! I'm waiting on fork rake/trail adjustment spacers now.

Yep- I saw both of those.  Very cool in their own way! And.... Let's not leave out Shane's rare Kawasaki KR250 out either.  .  I heard him explain the bike and motor configuration so often at the Gap that I covered for him when he wasn't there for curious onlookers. And, my presentation as Retro3/ Shane approved!

I can't wait to hear it

Making progress again, hopefully final assembly. I'm waiting on a bunch of new hardware to replace all the manky old stuff I used to mock up the bike. Also waiting on the bodywork to come back from paint. Otherwise I think I have everything I need here.

I'm making pretty good progress on the reassembly. I still need to mount all the ignition components and some other small parts. New hardware should be here tomorrow.
I found these nice little UNI filters with an angled mount so they clear the pipes.

My painter emailed me about the paint color. I asked for RD400 French Blue but every formula he tried came out too purple, even the custom mixed paint from suppliers using the supposed correct formula. He ended up eyeballing it himself. I don't think it could be any closer than he did by eye.
It should all be finished up pretty soon now that he has the color.

That does look spot on for French Blue.

[Kawtriplefreak]

I don't know about stripes yet, but the name graphics are white. I'll have to see how it looks after it's together.
