My Bike

1987

Kawasaki

EX500

Flat Metallic Black / Silver

When I dug it out of the back of my friend's garage, it hadn't run in 5 years.
When I got it I had rough plans to update the paint and get it healthy.

I pulled the key code from the helmet lock and had a key made, then proceeded to remove all the plastics, tank, etc.. and updated the colors. She needed some love after sitting so long.

Then I cleaned and rejetted the carbs, did a quick oil change. Also pulled the pipes, cleaned off all the rust, and sprayed them in a matching gunmetal concept.

I made a skull template using an Internet concept image, then sprayed white plastidip over the template on both sides of the tank. This has since been removed...

Found out my fairing mounts weren't in the specified M6, but instead in #12 X 24 screws, so I went ahead and mounted the fairing with the #12 X 24 stainless screws.
