COMMENTS :
KZ frame and forks repainted in custom red pearl. All new parts and bearings. Custom made decals and custom painted pink lightning bolt on Elina seat.
In the pictures it is very hard to tell but this beautiful KZ-1 was repainted with a custom red pearl that is hard to notice. In the pictures it looks to be white, but if you click on the thumbnail picture (Right hand side, 285K) you can see how the pink is gleaming in the sunlight. Notice around the BB area and the tubes. The bike looks even more incredible in person. That is the "Sleeping Lady" mountain in the background. 285K - Click for full size image
