That may be a touch ambitious.Look for my post in the air cooled section.now a bit about me,I'm a soon to be 54 year old 30+year veteran street rider.Wanting to see what I was missing I rented a bike at the local MX track this summer.That was a hoot so I've been on the hunt for a vintage dirt project since.Found I like doing up old bikes when I did this one http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/sh ... p?t=161477 then I got this one http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/sh ... p?t=176156 .I'm a bit of a Suzuki guy but I've had Honda's and Yamaha's to.This is my first Kawasaki and my first stoker since the old R5 Yamaha that was my first bike.
