    Hi
    I imported,or rather bought from a dealer who fills containers with unwanted/barn find bikes from the USA,a 76 Kawasaki Kx 125a3 in poor condition .
    I finished it a twelve month ago after a year of ebay img parts from the U.S. ,as we have nothing left in the UK.
    Postage and import duties were a killer,but hey ho it's done now,except for a pair of original rear shocks that I finally found in the U.S. And I am currently re building.
    I have no excuses for buying and restoring this bike,except I did have one when I was sixteen and men of a certain age do stupid things(direct quote from the wife)
    Luckily she does not use cafe husky and after all her complaining I've still got a restored kx so,HA HA image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Cool bike, I had a 74 in 74. Fast little bikes. Nice job on the rebuild.

    Awesome job and sweet looking bike. Heck it probably handles better than my 2015 KTM 350 XCF. CONGRATS!

    At age 15 I owned one of those. Mine had the "Blake" set up which was a short manifold that allowed a larger carb to be mounted outside the side case. I also had a Bill Wirgess (spelling?) down pipe. It was a good bike, I'm looking forward to seeing yours completed.
