Kawasaki kx250 2005 Build

Edited Date/Time 5/18/2016 3:09pm
First of all, Hello im new to the forum and getting into things so give me some time Wink

in this thread ill post some pics of my kx250 build, missing some pics from the beginning so will mostly be while putting it back together. it will be a fairly expensive build so it will take some time.

just to clearify im not a pro rider in any way, just love to fix up my bike's and make it as good looking as possible.
always been like that since my younger days.

here is a Pic of how the Bike looked when i first bought it, not so happy with it, but atleast its a Kawasaki.



This is how the bike looked when i stuffed it in storage after a crash, made me think im to old for this shit, but hey now im back, weightloss and bike is in progress Wink


Thats it for now to get it started, ill be back later this afternoon when i get to my computer at home.

Regards
Mike#46

So as promissed, im back home now and ill upload some pictures of how its going now =)

Well here we go !

A pic where the disassembly has started ( as said lost alot in between there as a forum post was not planned)



After some sandblasting and weldchecking, i went on to paint the frame and swingarm







Now the bike had been standing for a while, so there was some corrosion on the engien etc, gave that alittle shine to.





now to how the Bike looks atm:


Waiting for some parts, but i got some teasers that will be put on later on

Good morning ! or night for most of you over the pond Wink

Thanks for the replys!

The plan is to trick the bike out with what i can in Carbon, caliper protector frame protector, sharkfin, i see that Lightspeed still makes alot for my bike, not a fan of rotor protectors so those will not be added. Fuel lines and cooling hoses will be Blue. Sadly the parts are real expensive so it will take alittle time, but come summer the bike shuld be up and running. im also looking for either Boyesen or Hinson engine covers wich will be a nice additon.

Just to have some pictures in this post ill add two of my old bikes for the fun of it.

So sexy. Nice work man, looks so clean! I love the black frame and swingarm and forks. It goes together so well.

Is that just kashima on the forks? and what forks are they?

Sweet build! Are you sure that it's an 05? Looks newer to me, it has the brown clamps, shock, wave rotors + hubs that came in 06?

Awesome that you got the full Öhlins setup, the shock is very rare these days.

Yes its a 2005 model at least by the serial nr on the engine and chassis. rotors, hubs everything there is nothing original left on that bike basically, when i bought it i think he had put on some other clamps as you say they are brown and not polished, but hey i put some others on again ^^

Btw your 125 locks sick mate ! nice work =)
