74 - 76 Kawasaki KX125

You ought to get in touch with Jack Thompson with the TVRC. He's crazy about those bikes and has tons of stuff related to them.

DG made the older style cast radial heads for them. I sold a basket case of a pretty nice 74 KX125 to a friend of mine and helped him a little with the restoration. Millenium Technologies did an excellent job replating the cylinder. I ended up finding another 74 on a local classifieds site and went to look at it. Forks were all rusted up, fenders were broke, pretty damn rough but it ran through the gears good. But bolted to the top of the engine was a pristine DG head. $100.00 and it was in the bed of the truck. Parts bike for my buddy's resto! Those bikes run really good and handle quite well. Pretty torquey and rev out decent. If Kawasaki had come out with those bikes six months earlier the starting gates may have looked a bit different back then. If they had boreable cylinders on them there would be a lot more of them around today. I don't know of a lot of a/m stuff for those bikes. You could slip in a 250 front end with 35 mm forks for an improvement and have that aluminum guru at Novation Racing make you a period correct works style swingarm for it. Oh, and the 38mm Skunk Works carb kit!!
