OK, I took another shot at mounting the tool tubes. Now attached to the stock rack and also bolted to the rear fender itself (underneath the seat edge). One holds all my tools, another holds a mini air pump and a water bottle.

I may have to get a second rack for my topcase setup so I can swap back and forth easily.

 

Added some barkbusters B66 bar end weights today. Also added an extension cord for the helmet lock as I was finding it difficult to use the stock one.

 

Added a few more mods.

Unabiker radiator guards in gold anodized finish:







iPhone mount (strictly for the rare GPS use):





Coleman ATV butt pad:





Clarke 2.7 gallon fuel tank. This plastic tank is SOO light that I think the weight savings compared to the stock metal tank "pay" for carrying the extra fuel around. I wish it held more, but happy with the design.



Patched up a leaky coolant overflow tank ()



Put Ride-On in both tubes:

 

Looks like a nice ride.

 

Getting ready to drop the bike off for the big bore next week, so finished up a few more mods today....

Maier rear fender:







Ballistic EVO II battery (stock was dying):



Shock Sox:

 

Looks like some new UFO KX250 fork guards on the front? Can you post up some pics, and parts info, on the rear fender swap??
I have broken the taillight a couple of times, and am not nuts about the look of the stock rear fender. I have toyed with changing it all out to something like you have there.
Thanks, Dan

 

I am not sure about the UFO fork guards Dan. I was told they are stock for the 06-07 model year. Here's a couple of pics:





The rear fender - highly encourage you to do it. The MX fender completely changes the lines of the bike and makes it look better. The whole ungainly "farm bike" rear end with that enormous tail light is one of the let downs with the KLX:

• It is a Maier that is meant for a KDX I believe. I used to have a KDX200 and had this fender laying around after selling that bike. I had to cut/dremel/drill/shape to get it to fit, but it fits well. It's one piece unlike the stock two piece.
• I had cheap LED turn signals laying around that I just mounted to the slots in the stock rack.
• I bought a cheap LED tail/brake light from Amazon to complete the job. I had to trim them just a bit and bend them outward so they would be more visible underneath their mounting location on top of the fender. But it was easy to do.

• I then cut off the rear subframe right at the end of the last cross-brace. Turned out to be simpler than I thought and I even reused the rubber frame plugs from the piece I cut-off. I have both cross-braces intact and I liked it that way so it keeps some of the structural integrity. I wanted to reuse the stock rack with whatever fender I had so having some integrity in the back was important.

The wiring diagram in the service manual surely made things easier to identify which lead is for what.

 

THanks for the pics and link xara. I may have to try that , your "farm bike" rear end with that enormous tail light" reference is spot on. LOL
Pretty sure you have aftermarket fork guards on there. https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...cements-31419/

3/5/13: Added an Acerbis supermoto front fender. Was only $28 and bolted right up once I drilled the 4 holes. I think it makes the front end look a little more contemporary, but it's a bit shorter than I like.





3/13/13. Installed a BB351 kit and pumper carb. The internals looked great, consistent with the low miles and build quality of this Kawi engine.

 

Something different
