Didn't think it looked to bad in the Black n Gold & bodywork was still factory with decals :smt017

Your BRG might have looked good with the Gold frame too :smt007

Any pic's of the transformation process ?

Glad to see you still have the hoover tubes on :smt004

MM! :smt001
Nothing worse than having an H and not being able to scratch it !

if you saw it in real life you would think different lol, the guy before me had just taken the fairings and the tank of and just sprayed it with a rattle can so all if the pipes and wires were all faint gold, even the carbs and C&s kit were all gold, to be honest i don't really have any pics of all the work i only have pics of the engine strip we did cause of a blown head gasket and that's nothing new on here.

i would like to make it look a bit more modern with like flat indicators and try and do something with the rear number plate and mud gard, i have also bought a h2 or an l1 swing arm to fit on to it.

i was also wondering would it be better to put an L model engine onto it cause i hear that they are better?

engines are the same, but with a BUT.

Look it up using the search, but basically Kawasaki varied a few things on them such as the cams.

So no, just sticking an l engine in won't give more power. Plus it depends how good the engine in there is, how worn etc.
These things are sent to try us!!
