Took advantage of the sunny day and loaded the KX up and went down to the river for a couple of pics.






















The really annoying part of this build was the really nice original rare as muffler that I bought in the UK on EBay, that went missing :'( :'(. Royal Mail are useless >:(

So a quick ride up and down the street, then she's off to the local Kawasaki Dealer who wants to put it on display.

Cheers
Adam

Outstanding job buddy as usual.  :)
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.
