Well it's definately different...

Pity the bike's a classic!! Those tank badges go for 40 dollars each over in the USA! Probably worth 40 dollars now though... for the whole Bike!

Nicely done though.. If you like Pink and White Bikes!

Tank Badges for W1, W2, A1, B1, C2, also other models.
Left & Right sided

Gold/Black/Red
KT 05 $55.00 USD PER BADGE
including worldwide postage

See!!

I think it was a W1 (bike model) but it doesnt help with the colour disguising everything!

I saw a Pink Ninja at Boxhill once.

Go on then.. lets have a laugh..

I suppose it would be classed as 'Nuclear Red' if it were a Triumph..

GPX600?

Although the colour does hide it well!

Hmm.. but saying that.. it does have a look of a GPZ600....

Extensive research ( like following the pic link ) makes it a Kawasaki EX250 (1995) (baby Ninja).

This didnt sound to clever..

Front suspension: (optional, took about 1 hr.)
now that the front was lowered the ultra-soft front springs became a significant issue, with the fender hitting the fairing at the slightest bump, even with just Amy's weight as a rider.

The solution is to replace a part of the spring with a non-compressible pipe. This effectively increases the overall spring rate in the fork.

1. removed one fork cap (push down on the center with a dowel, and pop out the retaining clip, a friend can help).
2. Pull out the spring, cut about 4"-6" off of it with a hack-saw
3. The end of the spring is now not flat, and will likely bind in the fork tube, so this needs to be fixed. Heat the cut end of the spring red hot with a torch and flatten it against something non flammable (concrete), then quench it in water (just heat the last coil on the spring if possible).
4. Cut a piece of PVC pipe of the length that the spring was shortened (remember to account for the height lost when flattening the last coil). The pipe should be the same outside diameter as the spring.
5. Put spring back in fork, then insert the pipe piece, then put the cap back in and the retaining clip. 6. repeat for other fork leg.

There's bodging and... bodging!! PVC Pipe!!? Is he mad or just trying to bump his missus off?

I came close to buying a pink Z750 before I found my GT. Mind you it was pink/purple flip. Loved the paint but unfortunately everything else was wrong!
