Hi Muecke,
That's my stillborne KLX resto in the photo [stillborne because it seems to be taking forever to finish].
I made the pipe from 1.5 inch stainless steel mandrel bent sections. The muffler was made by Geoff Morris Concepts in Victoria.
If you need any more info just let me know. I can take some more photos [without the side plates] if that would help you.
thanks
VMX42

Hi,
thanks for answering!
That's sad, because I can't buy it! Or is there a chance to get this muffler?
Can you take some more detailed photos??
Many thanks!
I hope I can show you our KLX near future in top condition after restoraution. :)

Hi guys
I'm a first timer so be gentle.
Just wondering who runs what gearing on their KLXs. I am running standard (I think) but it seems a bit low.
Also has anyone put a different than standard carby on? Thanks.

Hi Nev, yet to ride my KLX but I believe standard gearing is 46t rear and 14T front. The KLX really could have done with a 6 speed gearbox as they run out of puff pretty quick. The optional 15T front might be worth a try. 44 and 47 were the options for the rear. A 40T from a KL250 may also fit giving another option but it's a trade off. The carb I have no idea, I really don't know much about them either :-\

Hi Muecke
would I be right in assuming you have  two of the Whittoeft bikes

I'm glad to see they are in good hands

Yes, you are right! We had 3 of Witthöft Kawas, but the biggest with 750ccm we gave back to him!
My dad and Rolf are good friends! Since 2006/07 I'm very interessting in these old bikes! :)

I have the original issue of the article. The man at the gas station is my dad (page 3)!
On page 3, there are the two Witthoeft bikes we still have. The left one is now mine and the right one is still the bike of my dad.

Here you can find some more photos: http://88.198.89.250/ex305_07.php
More photos will be follow in a few weeks!

Here is a photo of the GS 751 at Witthoeft's store:

Hi Muecke,
To the best of my knowledge the sidecovers are still available from Kawasaki. Or you can use A4/5 covers from Nightmare Racing [if you want number plates].

On another post you said you were looking for a swingarm buffer for the KLX. These are also still listed as available from Kawasaki. Robs Replica Reproduction Rubber in Australia [www.4RoBs.com.au] have a replica swingarm buffer [chain slider] made from quality urethane, not the hard brittle plastic of the original. He can do them in various colours and they are an exact copy of the original.

Good luck

Thanks for your answers! I think they are very exspansive so I 'm looking for some used parts in good conditions!

I wrote a email for the chain slider to the Australian address. Thanks.

Hi Muecke,
From what I can see the side covers list for approx $80.00US each.

Hi Muecke,
Just thought you might be interested that your mate Herr Witthoeft is being featured in a profile in the next issue of VMX Magazine.
Just thought you might like to know.
Thanks
