My craigslist special Rat Bike project
Hey guys, new to the forum. I just picked up a 2004 about a month and half ago for $790. It was running but the fairings were iffy and it had a bad rattle can paint job on it. I had to rebuild the carbs but I finally got it back on the road and phase one of the project is complete.
So far I've eliminated the rear fender, removed all the fairings. Custom gas tank by a artist buddy of mine. KN pod filters Exhaust Baffles removed Needles shimmed Phase 2 is going to be swapping the whole front section for a round headlight and new gauge with bar end mirrors |

http://bluecollarbobbers.com/kawasak...r-aka-gpx-250r He also sells parts of the kit separately if you contact him via e-mail. The dashboard kit is amazing
