The slide show shows how easy I had it, My cousin did most of the hard work before he passed away so its to his credit!

[Joe H]

I got to show the bike to my uncle who gave it to me after my cousins death. My cousins Jerrys son who wasn't even born when Jerry started this project was there, and Jerrys ex wife Joy Also. It was great to be abel to let them see it run.





Here is a pic of the decals, lets play find the dumb @$$ mistake! (the dummy is me )

Angle of the 750?

Angle of the 750?

Nope.... Good guess though.

[Allie]

Nope.... Good guess though.

The 750 decals do look like they're on the wrong covers though.

That bike looks bloody fantastic! Good job and good for your family!

So cool that you "presented" it to the family. I can only imagine the bittersweetness of the moment. great job.

Not being familiar with the animal, i see no issues with the decals. They look good to me.

[dorkburger]

750 will be backwards on the right side.

[steve murdoch]

The family aspect is a great finish to the project.
Nicely done, Joe.

[Allie]

750 will be backwards on the right side.

It actually wouldn't but I'm wrong anyway, they're supposed to lean forwards, not backwards, I checked.

[Allie]

Just a minuuuute bubbalouie! The 'Kawasaki' emblems are on the wrong sides! I knew the angles should have matched.

[QUOTE=Allie;2171872]It actually wouldn't /QUOTE]
Der....had to think about that for a second......

[Joe H]

It was a bitter sweet moment with the family, my uncle never shows emotion EVER, he usually says something like "nice job @$$H0le"
But this time he said nothing and gave me the thumbs up…thats big emotion for him! His Ex wife cried and me and his son Jamie talked alot about his dad and what he was like before the accident and brain damage, Jamie has few memories of his dad before the accident.

And even though the 750's look backwards there are actually on the right way….
You are obviously Suzuki nuts !! and not Kawasaki Guru's except Allie! Nice job!
I was totaly depressed when I noticed like putting the cherrie on the sunday and then smashing it down to far! I had them mocked up correctly then must have flipped them when I put them on.



I was going to leave it and I may still, I don't know yet, its a custom not a resto, and because most people won't know, but those who do will mock me mercilessly for doing it!

Thanks of all the compliments!!

Maybe it's just my advanced age, but I see nothing wrong. The Mach IV was just so historically vital.

[Allie]

I like the Kawasaki slanted the way you have it, it makes the bike look faster and matches the angle of the forks. The way it came stock looks a little conflicted, like the bike doesn't know whether it's coming or going



Maybe they thought it was 'edgy'?

If anything maybe you could lift the 750 emblems and switch them?

Thought Id share my current project. Nothing to extraordinary.
The bike came to me with many of the mods already done, it was a family members and I was "helping", mostly watching and going on trips with him to get parts (and beer). He started it in 1996 I received it in Jan 2012, it sat in parts in his living room from 1999 till then!
Ives since changed some things, had some work done to put reeds in it and bought the parts need to finish it.
Im hoping to have it running next spring but we will see, free time is a premium as you know.

This is how I received it;

I know I'm chiming in late here, like maybe too late, but that swing arm looks real flimsy compared to later sport bikes, the frame too.
I'm sure racers beefed those up, I would too.
