I almost spend $7,000 on a KTM 525 the other day but could not let my K5 go so easily. I was looking for the most poerfull new CA green sticker bike availalbe. The 525 was it but still does not mesasure up to the K5
SO....
In a quest to ride with some modern ergos Im trying to find the slimist, lowest tank seat combo that will fit? I like to get up on the gas tank when cornering. I can handle a 2.5 gal tank too. My longest rides are 40-50mi. I love the Judal tank but its not worth $400.oo I also like the 89 tanks but can not find one anyplace.
It looks to me that some of the later 80s tanks are slighly lower than my 1999 k5s. I also like the look without the big old hump.
Is the carbon fiber tank on the Green Monster just a duplicate of a modern kx250 tank? or is this its own unique design?
Can you take a 2000s tank seat and shrouds and make them fit a k5? Looks like some of you have done this with sucess.
