Great idea!, that's what I wanted to do to a 86-87 Ninja if I start another project. You swap the whole front end, triple clamps, forks, bars? Any clearance issue? Did you keep the stock swingarm or use an 08-12? the swingarm pivot axel diameter is smaller on the 86-87 but there is a sleeve/spacer so if you swap over the everything it should work, unless Kawasaki up the axel diameter again on the 08-12 250.

Green is "Kawasaki" color but hard to pick a shade that looks nice. All the lime, neon and in your face green that Kawasaki race team's use seem to lost a bit of wow factor when applied to vintage machine. White compliment green so find some way to introduce white into the machines, either wheels or decals will balance the green out. Keep going, your almost there!

Yep I swapped entire front end. forks and everything then I put racetech springs in them. Used a 08 rear shock with swing arm, wheels and all brakes from an 08. The stock swingarm bolt works with the 08 swing arm also, the 2008 one doesn't work cause the threads are to big to go through the frame. Clearance is all good except for I got clip-ons for an 2008 ninja since those are the forks I got and they hit the gauge cluster. They don't hit tank though. I was thinking about white decals. Still trying to find some I like. Currently trying to find a belly pan or I might just try and make one. The green is sublime green. A single stage summit racing brand paint. Not sure how much I like it yet but ill live with it for now.

These might give you some idea of color combination from Kawasaki back in the days but the US only got black and white colors. Not sure about the pink
