TOPIC:

I got my first Kawasaki a year ago cheap from a friend who didn't know how to drive the bike and got ripped off by a shop and was tired of it. I don't want to go through the whole story because the bike was a pain in the a$$ but step by step I got it back to life and more importantly - reliable. Its a high maintenance when riding it daily but the advantages are so much higher compared to my car, that I didn't even use my car for the past half year. Since I use it daily I just work on it step by step rather than taking it apart completely. So anyways. Here some pics from before and how it is now:

Thats how I bought it:



Head rebuilt and new after market chain tensioner :

New cable harness from scratch because it was a big mess:

And thats pretty much the latest update. New clutch and stronger springs:



Next week it gets new carbs, a custom 26t rear sprocket and new chain and some bearings and small stuff.

Oh yeah, one of the coolest things is the custom surfboard rack. I get to the beach with style
