This is one of my favorites in my collection, a Kawasaki
BX100.
These two photos are of my Kawi before I owned it. Notice the rear shocks are on upside down LOL.
The front shock/clamps/bars are off of a Yamaha Motobike model "C" (the
Kawi's originally didn't come with a front shock), the
rims/seat/cranks are not original, no grips and no seat struts.Now comes the fun part, collecting!
I have a nearly complete bike but its still not all original
so I will have some searching to do.
One guy said "forget the Kawasaki's, they are too hard to get parts for, get a Yamaha" and I was like no
way! The fun in owning something like this is knowing you're one of a few that has
one and knowing how hard it was to put it back to original.
Old School Collectors take PRIDE in
their restorations and should!
As I get parts for my Kawasaki I will archive these
photos as the "before" shots and display the new shots.
Until then take a look around at the other Kawasaki photos
and if you're a owner of one of these join our Kawasaki Owners Group. |
