Default Dakar Front End Kit

Does anyone know about this guys kit? He is in Greece and it's an 09 but it looks a little different.

Anyways does anyone know of a kit or any other bike fairings that would work with some fab work? Something besides a goldwing front end haha.

doesnt look like an 09 to me, key give aways are the purple frame and lack of wave rotors, but yes that would be rad. involves a lot of work though.

I was thinking it looking more like a wannabe KKK groupy but I will take your word on the Purple Rain thing by Prince.

Mate, not sure if this helps but maybe look at Britannia Composites for Dakar style fairings. I think the Lynx one is a good one:

Nice thanks everyone. That lynx is awesome. Nice design.

Yeah that bike didn't look like an 09 to me either, I thought Kawasaki made it purple for the Mediterranean demographic? Haha.

If you search his photos, it looks like an Acerbis tank, but not a 3.7. It looks like it was made for that kit, the bottom wing is very short.

You can see the Acerbis flow cut outs in a plastic fairing and the tank itself looks small.

The bikepics page claims it is a 2009. Maybe she painted the frame? Pretty unique looking bike. It also looks like it has an axillary fuel tank on the left rear, where the coolant overflow was mounted.
