I rarely see or hear about any Kawi builds on here. Lets see some Kawasaki 250 and 450 builds.

Here's mine (mostly stock):

2020 KX250
Renthal twinwall bars
Renthal 1 1/8" clamps
Renthal Chain & Sprockets
Acerbis skid plate
Thrillseekers gripper seat
Hinson Clutch
KB5 Suspension setup
Works Connection Holeshot

Sorry about the bad pics but strangely the only ones I have of the bike

LETS GO 2021 KAWIS!!

Not really a build, just my “daily rider” but it’s a 2017 kx250f, along side my actual project, a 2004 kx125.

A couple cool parts on it, lots of carbon, but this ones pretty basic. Kind of a combined Pro Circuit/Factory Kawi look.

I think he was more referring to which bend, not necessarily the bar. It’s pretty clear in the marketing for the bike that it’s a Fatbar.

Yes, looking for the bend. I went with a PT Rm Mid for my bike and I want something different. Really liked my stock 971(I think thats what it is)

I’ve always found the kx’s to have kind of a higher mount location than most, so I’ve always run something lower like a 999 and then put spacers under the mounts if they weren’t quite where I liked them.

Another thing very overlooked by a lot of people is the bars are really wide from Renthal, I cut mine down 7mm on each side. You don’t really notice it leverage-wise on the bars but it helps me grip the bars more like a doorknob like you’re supposed to. Which in turn keeps my elbows up with less effort.

I swapped them from my 2013 I had prior to it. Sold the 2013 with the new 2017 suspension.

Thanks! That thing was a fun build. Lots of trick unobtanium on it and I don’t really ride it much anymore.

It is not an SR.  It is a standard 2024 with the KYB front end and Hinson clutch cover from my 2022 SR.  I bought the FMF because I got a smokin deal on it.
