..It is hard to find a better example of the front fender on this bike..It is flawless without dings or scrapes and the original flawless hardware is still intact..The fender struts are perfect as well with with original chrome in great to perfect condition. All of the cables are original Kawasaki cables...

True . . . But I never knew the hardware came from the factory rusty . . .

THIS is just the tip of the iceberg from the particular seller, and the horror you are seeing is a mere snippet of the whole story . . . :(

Either one of them is 100% better looking than Rick's "Miracle at Ohio" 500 last year.
It was 5 grand and rust from stem to stern.

You just never know.
Either of those, if all original in fact, not just his word, is a 5K bike.

jmho of course....


But Ricks barn find ran, which was amazing in itself. These may too but the question is how much work it will take.

If they are 5K in their current state I would be very happy, but I doubt It?

They were at the Dania Beach show and one of them won a merit prize, hard to belive..

They have a merit badge for lying?


And as I said IF the bikes were in as good condition as they look like from 50 feet, easy 5K all day.
Obviously they need more than a little Evaporust eh?

I guess the real crime is letting them sit and get in that condition.

Anything, that was brought back to "original condition" with a wire wheel and silver paint isn't going to last more than a couple of weeks in the humidity of Florida :banghead

No, they are just sitting under a tarpaulin in England, waiting to be restored . . . Unless someone here wants to buy One of both first ?
