Abbott:
fit a 748 rear shock on the KX. milled up some .250" brackets to adapt it. turned out nice. should work better than the original 85 shock. I turned some spacers to fit in between the lower shock brackets so I don't have individual bolts like ya see here. need to order some longer bolts.
sneak peak of the bodywork on. since, I've had the top fairing fastened to the sub frame. sits farther back now. Looks too far forward in the picture but ya get the jist.
also have the rear set brackets done. they are getting a clear anodize put on them. I'll have rear brakes when I get them back!
umberto:
That dude is going to look bad ass when you get done. What colors are you going with?
Abbott:
thanks Umberto! excited to get it done.
Kawi Green of course!! is there another option?! hahah. it'll have a scheme pretty much like the upper and lower fairing you see in the picture. have to cut up the fairings a little so I'll be putting new paint on them
Abbott:
installed the trail tech gauge last night. Mostly using it for the tach and water temp sensor. maybe i'll add the speedometer sensor down the road. also finally have the rear sets on. next is fabricating the shift linkage...this one is going to be a bit tricky...
Brute:
Very nice work!
