KZ1 Progress Report How You Like Me Now

[oldskooldayz]

Well i must say this has been a very nice bike to build for me even though its still not at its finished stage

I thought i would compile a new thread of start to finish (Well Almost Finished) 

I did the decals today and after reading a few threads on how this should be tackled and attempting it a couple of times over the last couple of days and chickening out 
i finally took the plunge and thought Just Do it  and low and behold im really pleased with how they came out 

I have to say it wasnt the quickest of jobs probably in the region of 2 hours of lining them up and looking at tons of pics from all different sites to see the angles and hight and location of each one
till i was happy with where i put them

anyways i still have the wheels to change and the tyres plus add the chain and brake blocks so this is really a to the decal stage job as of this minute

hope you like it I know i do and the decals really bring it too life

cheers for that 

the teckh 2's will be moved once the gold ones turn up 

[Moza]

I love it apart from the tyres

[ozone]

If you have some spare time, removing the gold ano/brake rub to create a shineside rim would be worth doing.  Looks good though.

Once I change the wheels thats exactly what I will be doing polishing up the side 

Don't know it I should use White wall or gum wall Tyres

And yep the decals really bring it to life

Thanks for all the feedback

[dordymush]

hey you.
them wilko specials won me a bike of the year 

[hunterdubber]

Joe , I love the updates dude 

You're doing a nice job n'all 

All the points worth mentioning have been mentioned

moving down the levers
shiney side the rims
A set of amberwalled tyres

and voila on pukka Kuwi


I'm so glad you stuck withthe one piece , it's just right

and the layback is cool too , cos it's a 'laserpost' 

It's funny laybacks aren't everyones cup 'o tea when building nowadays(better suited to freestyle builds) , but they were a must have on every bike back then .

Yours looks great IMHO

First dib dobs on the frameset when you split  ,,

Looks really good mate 

Do the few tweaks the other RADster's have mentioned and you will have one hell of a nice rider
