I've been working on a little project for a couple of months now, and, before I get some things set in motion...I have a question for all of you:
What K5 parts, both "stock-replacement" and "After-market", do you want; But, you can't find?
For instance: Pipe selection is not what it once was: Tried getting a new "Fatty" lately? you can have a "Gnarly"...ain't the same to me; eventhough, I've been told it's just a thick walled "Fatty"...my "Pi-tape" doesn't lie!
Tried getting a Silencer/Spark-arrestor combo? Only a few to choose from.
The point: Some of these things can be had if the Qty's are there.
What products do we want/miss?
I can get our "Favorite" pipes manufactured if I believe that there's a market for them. There are a few "Special Blends" from the KX/SR500 days that could be produced and would be about $220 each. Our "Own" pipes, if you will. Don't start sniveling aboout the price until you read this: We are talking "WORKS" type pipes here....ooooooooooooo!
Don't just think about pipes...what else has "Gone missing" in your opinion...I'm asking.
A really tough Skid-plate that'll survive Morons like me? (Get the picture?)
There are a lot of companies out there that can be convinced to "make a special run of parts" if there is good reason. In some cases, I'd be willing to get "specialty items" made to our spec's. After-all, this is the home of the K5 Bandits!
So, let's have it!

BTW, Isn't it about time we got Rhinogirl an a K5? We could lower one for her, couldn't we...Rick? Paul?
