Final tidbit is some new shocks.
Got lucky and found a great deal on these. Had to make some new bushings but that was easy enough.

Since finishing this bike I sold my (previously) prized Suzuki GS1000S. This Kawasaki is just so much more fun to ride.
The end!

Heavier. I liked it, but like the KZ more.
A photo of two Suzuki's I restored.

I used many of the same parts you did. The GPz feetpegs, and the oil cooler were the same exact parts that I used on my E model. Your build brought back more than a few memories.
I road raced mine in a few WERA endurance races back then. I parked it when the Honda Interceptor came out in '83. After that it became my primary streetbike. Gold wheels were my trademark back then as you can see in the one photo.
Gold wheels eh? Seems fitting for the era. :laugh:
