Kawasaki / KLX250 Wide Footrests

« on: July 29, 2015, 10:52:23 pm »

Hi all,

Rebuilding an '81 klx and wondered if anyone knows of wide footrests that are an easy fit?

It's been a long road getting a garage built, then clearing it of push bikes, kayaks, decortating stuff etc to reclaim it!
Last few parts are coming together so hopefully finished by end of Sept.

Cheers
Giler

I think I have a new pin and clips somewhere. I will have a look over the weekend. No good to me anymore as I use the MTC piston and those lovely teflon buttons. At least if you are running the std Kawasaki piston you can run on normal un-leaded !
I use the valve seals supplied in the top end or complete gasket sets. They work and last just fine. Aftermarket gaskets are excellent and not that expensive.

Thanks Grouty.

Strap was on egay from US. Need wrist pin and clips for a piston I have, thought Z Power?
Plus valve stem seals, then legal tyres and a couple of bits like grips etc.

I'd like  the sump guard strap, The ignition ignitor  [cdi] box rubber mounted cage,  headlight and tail light. I can get pattern parts for the mudguards.

Just managed to get a nos sump guard strap - would dimensions help?
Also found an original silencer. As soon as younger son's bedroom is finished I can get cracking on the bike!

I thought Paul got rid of his last bits. Just ordered set of rings, need valve seals, gasket kit and should be sorted, oh and silencer Do you know if wide pegs from anything modern are an easy fit?

Where did you get the shocks from?

Egay in the US - good nick and seem to damp ok - won't know until I ride it obviously.
Now need to flog the MT350 shocks which didn't fit.

Have finally got a garage up have mounted new rear muguard, fitted some original shocks - now to
put in vale stem seals, rings and tidy her up.

These threads tempt me, but I think I'll stay with a standard motor.

There was some amazing stuff there, and some amazing prices - Matchless Rickman £25,000!
