Here you go Darius. Gold with gray boots.

By the way, I'm having trouble finding a fuel pump rebuild kit online. Is it one of these? I just did a generic search for fuel pump kit and found those. Nothing listed specifically for a Z. I can get one ordered from the dealer but they want $22 for it.

Nice work man...not to be a pest..but can you keep the wheels silver and just make the hubs gold.

That was the idea....and a bit lighter on the fork boots...sorry man!! Thats the last of it!!!...I promise!!

The round kit is what you need. I bought one for my Z. They are not listed for a tri-z because they are universal kits.

There's more than one but I'm assuming you mean the 3rd one down? Dennis Kirk Part #: 170514 ?

Today's progress!

Front fender is looking good but it's far from done. This is after stripping the two different colors of paint with Acetone and then wet sanding the crap out of it with 220 grit (had to go to 220, the oxidization was too much for 320). Now it's pretty much ready to start working down to finer and finer grits until it has that factory sheen to it.

Any idea if this rear fender is OEM or Maier? Having a more difficult time getting the paint of this one.

I'll start making much more rapid progress as soon as it cools down around here. Had to borrow a portable swamp cooler just to sit out there for a couple hours doing this today.

The front fender looks a heck of alot better. Good job. You have alot of work ahead of you though!
