What did you think of the crank balance?  Big difference?  Looks great.

Did you have them coated that color special , or is that just the way they came? They look sweet.

I've been thinking of trying plasti-dip on my hubs , fork outers & shock body. Anodizing would be best but its not possible due to you can't seal the internals from what I understand , powder coat involves enough heat you'd anneal the parts. Always looking for cool new coating ideas, & those definetly fit the bill for excellent looking.

Also is that a spare set of 89 500 forks you got in the background?

I won't build my own K5 without balancing.
I strongly recommend it to all our K5 customers.
Todd is doing another for one of my customers right now.

kawboy:
The rad gaurds are original color, I've had them many years. The engine still has some vib at very low rpm, smooths
out as these revs rise. that is a set of '89 forks back there along with several other parts including a small flywheel and ignition. The chrome on the forks is in terrible shape. I loved those 49mm's on my '89 250.
