...thanks... and much more thanks to my dad, the best welder that i could have for all my projects...  :-D

today i just decided to bleed and refill the brakes. some other guys are starting with the airfilter.. :wink:

i replaced the frontmastercylinder against an 91 mastercylinder out of my spares.
 and i dont know, from which bike the other mastercylinder could be that was mounted on the bike... it has brakelight-switch and you can a mirror mount on... very dificult to find a lever for it... anyone knows from which bike it could be??

today i installed new bearings to the linkage, swingarm , wheels and also new tyres. all parts out of my spare parts .
still waiting for the ordered rear brake-pads and fork seals and seatcover...  :-)

i still need the lower shock bearing .. kawasaki-oem-parts-list said 64,- € without seals. does anyone know, where i can find it cheaper in aftermarket??

thanks foxxy ... i take a look at this links .

i have an real good 88 shock in my spares,
 compared to the 87-shock it is 10mm too long and my short legs will never touch the ground, if i install it to the 87...  :| thats the last major-problem on this bike. it is now technical 90% ready for first ride...   :-) thanks to the preowner for the motor-rebuild...it saved me a lot of time and money...  :-D

thats now the fastest rebuild, i´ve ever done...if the parts , that i ordered dont come to late in the mail, the race on 2. of june comes true. if not i ride the ´83 , but i want the better power and linkage of the 87 for racing in the evo-cup . i´ve also thought about installing my 86-k5 engine to the 87 for deep-sand-track where is also racing later this year.  :-) it would only need an original k5 exhaust and the k5-engine-brackets . the engine swap is very easy to do...  8-)

today wanted the gods of motocross, that some kx-450 footpegs fell into my hand...  :-D
i and my dad cutted of the old worn 87-pegs and welded on the kx450 pegs it still need a little modify tomorrow, but it looks great.. i also modded an black ´94-98 rear fender ( yes its the same, that was on my ´93 k5 sf-projekt before i got the right ´93-fender for it  :-D )
today also arrived the new blue seatcover , brake lever and the fork seals... still a lot of work and always much fun on wrenching... :-D

thanks...  :-D  ..

the seat is a stock seat with an special custom seat-foam to reach the fuel cap. seems to be very rare.. and i can´t say which company it offered in the old glory days of motocross...
 its a little bit damaged, but i will cut it a little bit to safe as much of it... :-)
i love to have things like this, that no other can have.. :-D  

the seat is laying beside me so i made just this pics.

seat is finished and some new parts were in the mail...  :-) only the lower shock bearing is still missing...

just decided to install a mix of 87 and 89-graphics and i have still a set of blue gasgas-fenders that i used on the 97 in the past... think it becomes an great individual look ...  :-D
