F'n new guy with a 83 KX500

(1/3) > >>

TTR:
Hey all, thought I would post a pic of my freshly restored 83 KX500.  This is the first Kawasaki I have ever owned.  Finding parts for this thing was like mission impossible. Luckily, it was in decent shape when I got it.  I installed stiffer springs in the forks along with emulators and a gold valve in the shock.  Other than that it is stock.  I may have the head re-cut by RK-Tek, but so far no sign of detonation.

This thing vibrates and makes noises like no other bike I own.  It has a brutal low to mid hit.  I love it!  I didn't like the rear fender back in the day but now I think it is bad ass!  I will race it occassionally but mostly it will just look pretty in my garage.

Nice bike! I just got rid of a 83 KX125. I would have kept it if it were a 250 or 500.

ID KX500:
That is a beautiful bike. I had an 80 KX420 I have lots of good memories of those days.
