Wonderful tribute :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind words mike.. :oops: You sure took that bike to a whole different realm. Now I know it could'nt have found a better home.. :) And the original owner would be gleaming if he were able to see it today..That bike has truly made its full circle.and elated many along its path.. You need to share the orig. owners story someday..:)

I would like to thank all of you guys for the great comments, It makes this whole project bitter sweet. I wish I could explain what kind of Kawasaki Triple nut my late brother was, as a kid 10 years younger than him I will never forget his passion to ride and race the triples, it seems like yesterday. :D I have met so many friends collecting the great triples its unreal. :thumbup:
Again thanks to Kawbulman for giving me the chance to be late hooking up, LOL inside joke. And also Porchedave for helping with the electrical and all the rest of you that gave me tips and advice, I am forever humbled. :D
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
