Thanks everyone, and I'm one step closer to riding. I just finished the initial mounting of the gas tank. I just need to modify the rear bracket and bolt it in. After that:
Mount headlights.
Create headlight covers.
Make custom seat
Custom fairings
Paint
Ride

After years of being somewhat sensible (and not having enough money), I finally caved and picked up a basketcase 1986 Kawasaki 750R off craigslist for $300. And before too long I should be up and riding with everyone this summer!

Alright here are some pics of the project. And a brief explanation. The original gas tank was shot, so I picked up one off of an 89 Ninja 600 and pulled out the drill and grinder.
I had to relocate the rubber stops back about 2 inches. and I pulled the petcock from my tank (which I tore down and cleaned up) and used it on the new tank.
In addition to that, I stripped the paint off some of the engine parts, and the foot pegs and I'm currently working on polishing them to a ridiculous level of shine. Call me neurotic...
Don't let the photo fool you, the dog is gay.
