Neat thread, thanks, but I can't find the video. I'm sure it's right under my nose, but...

Thanks Dale, that one I found. :D I like about everything about that bike, except the stripes. It would have looked so clean with just "Kawasaki" and "350".

The stripes make it! Plain paint just makes it look like a 14 year old did a Krylon job after he scratched the original paint........ :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha, the photo in your post doesn't have "Kawasaki" or "350" or even shiny paint. :lol:

Very nice writeup indeed. Very thorough, showing how much work goes into making a special.
Was hoping to see it in action at the Germany rally this year...
