Got some more done on the ZS this weekend, I'll start with the seam sealing.

Here's the N/S taped up ready for the seam sealer to be applied -



Seam sealer applied -



Worked in, smoothed off and tape removed -



Jacking point sealed up too -



Rinse and repeat for the O/S, taped up -



Seam sealer applied -



Smoothed off and tape removed -



I also removed the air con and coolant rads today. I've wire brushed and sanded back the front valence too -



Masked up around the valence -



And Zinc primed -





I also painted behind it too but I couldn't get a decent picture of that.

I've begun stripping down the running gear so I can refurb the lot, here's the N/S bottom arm stripped and wire brushed back to bare metal -





The bushes are fine so I masked up around them. Anything that's got a bush in it I'll refurb myself, the rest will go off to be blasted and coated.

Zinc primed -





And painted black -







I'll leave that to dry for a few days now as the paint takes a while to properly cure.

I've also stripped down the damper and spring assemblies -





The dampers will be kept as they're fine, the forks refurbished and the springs will be replaced as I'm going to get a set of lowering springs from Moto-Build. I've read a few reviews and they seem to be favourable so far.

And finally, these are the bits going to the powder coaters tomorrow -
