I’m not normally big on Kawi 500’s, but you definitely made me rethink that. Digging the details, Bike looks awesome, enjoy the ride…

That thing is drop dead beautiful . After riding a brc 500 in a ktm ive really been itching for a 500. I did spend a day riding an 03 kx500 back in 03. I loved it.

Deserves its own thread for sure. That thing is sick. Definitely no corners cut on that one.

Beautiful job.

I assume the alloy tank is due to not being able to get repop originals. The Airbox looks like it was 3d printed.

Lots of really nice attention to detail stuff. I could never ride it...it's too nice.
