I’m currently building a 1988 Kawasaki SR250 and I’m looking for any works bits and pieces. 
I’m currently building a 1988 Kawasaki SR250 and I’m looking for any works bits and pieces. 
When I was building my 89 250 I contacted
TMR and asked if he had anything left from this era….he said all long gone…..So I just used burnt bronze on some parts & sent it….
I’ve already got a bunch of the works magnesium parts including a inner and outer clutch cover. There’s a few pieces I’m still looking for.
Sweet…. Will you do a build thread?
I guess I could, I haven’t ever done that but I’ll try it. Here’s my last 88 oem build.![]()

Awesome! I build an 89 a while back, had one new, one of my favorite bikes of all time….I didn’t want black rims, the wheel builder screwed up and I didn’t want to send them back….
Awesome build, Charles! Procircuit does a works pipe, It's not a rare trick bit, but it looks and runs nice.
Sandman, also like your '89, black rims match with lime Green! And I agree with you, I have an '88 (also with black rims 😅), It's a great dirtbike (power, frame, suspensions...)
That’s cherry. Nice work.
This is a ultra trick piece. I don’t mean the standard works pipe. I’m referring to the cone pipe Mitch built for the race team.
Yes, I know the works PC pipe isn't a rare "works pipe" 😉...but it looks great and improves the mid to top powerband.
I love the black rims on KX's Very nice build
Drool…..
Here are a few photos of the build. Still waiting on the 88 tank, top triple, air box and chain to finish up the bike.

Sweet build👍 is the 88 tank the same as the 500 tanks? The 89 tank doesn’t hurt👌
Pit Row
Yes, the 88 tank is the same as the 500 and this tank looks better. I want to keep it period correct.
Sweet build! Loved that year....brings back memories of Dogger on that thing....
Ya...sweet build👍
I raced a Honda in 88, I remember it had good handling, bent linkage bolts and power wise the motor was so-so.
The 88 Kawi looks like a bike you could go fast on right out of the crate.
Excellent sr... what u cooking in that pot on the stove
That is dow 7 coating for magnesium parts
Is your Swingarm KLP
No, it’s factory works KHI kawasaki Europe.
