I loved the factory bikes of the 90s the clean cut look before all the energy drinks put there shitty logos on the shrouds
Everyone puts the same old emig replica kit on these bikes even though the 96 emig kit is close on the shrouds to the 98 but still I wanted this type of style. So I want to use a oem look for my bike but let all the awesome Parts make people take notice over just a set of stickers
Let me know what you think as I build this bike
Also this bike is definitely not going to be built for a show piece I will definitely enjoy riding it once every couple of months so no point going to over the top
This is a pic of a oem bike for those who don’t recall the 98
Then I’ll attach a picture of the bike I have to use as a starting point

Loved the 98 Kawasakis. Keen to do a 125 but still got a CR250 that needs a heap of work.


Edit. Would you have a spare set of purple renthal handlebars?
