My favourite KH250. :D But the side panels have to be green.

My sort of project that Mark. All there but needs loads of work :lol: :lol:

mark · b5

simon,i was hoping you would help with parts! ie.decal set etc,etc,etc.seat trim?

g6mow

No problem Mark :D

mark · bits

ta mate,will pm you with wanted list soon. :D

BIG AL

Good luck with the rebuilt mark, like simon says all there just loads of work, what sort of turnaround you looking at 8-12 months ,are you doing a full monty or just a sympathetic rebuild and making it look tidy

Cheers
Al

mark

complete strip and rebuild Al. i find it hard to comprimise with these bikes!i reckon may ish. just got to finish a h1 and h2 engines i am doing for mates first.

simonh

my favorite too, would prefer if it had old font on tank

rear guard is black

mark · B5

which old font do you mean simon? also do you mean chain guard is black,would it have been gloss or semi? please advise on headlamp shell aswell,thaks!

g6mow

It has the post 78 Kawasaki font

He means rear mudguard should be black. Semi gloss as well as chainguard,h/lamp shell, battery box,air filter housing etc

mark

strange that!because i nicked the rear mudguard of it a while ago and it was chrome(under the rust).really didnt look or feel that it had been touched before?

BIG AL

mark

you never know!!!!! :D

delboy

simonh

just i saw a jap modified one tuther day, same paint set but with pre78 kawasaki on tank looked mint :D

Mark it might not have been a proper b5 then, just dealer put newer paintset on to sell it 102.gif

defo black rearguard, and the sidepanels are quite dull too, but look nicer when gloss :oops:

have fun, its not as bad as dels :shock:

mark

At least its in one peice mine was a boxs . i am still finding missing parts now and its nearly finished ..you will need lots of rust remover i found some the otherday that is the dogs . cleaned up an oil tank on a freinds 1946 BSA
that had been beried in the desert for 30 yeras .none toxic mix with water bilt-hamber labs its cheap too.all the best with the rebuild..
