What tank?
« on: May 09, 2013, 01:30:00 AM »
can any one tell me what tank this is? looks very low at the next almost like the late 80's kx250 but it's natural not green? is it just a natural stock tank and it's throwing me off?


The 2-smoke runs deep in this one...

looks just like my 91' OEM tank, except not green
When in doubt, throttle out!

Your rear rotor guard looks like an old "LR Replica" piece.......Larry Roeseler had a company back in the early 90's that he called LR Enterprises and he specialized in Kawasaki guards and accessories.....He also had the riding gear company XTREME make his his own like of riding gear called "LR Replica"........

I agree with everyone that I have never seen an OEM style tank come in "natural"........Might be an IMS one off thing.
