Looks great, I love to see an 86 KXT looking great like that! But why, oh why, did you put the stickers on the top of the rear fender on wrong? Also, are the Treker rears on backwards?

The re-print decals are better than nothing I guess. The guy selling them is a great guy. But I just cant bring myself to pay that much and stick them on this:

Jeb I've with ya....that's why I can't bring myself to install my 100 dollar repro right wing and any new stickers either. I'd rather have the busted stock one LOL. Maybe one day I will find a magic lamp and out will pop a genie, and I'll ask for a entire kawasaki warehouse from 1986 haha.

Are those trekkers any good? Every time I see those tires in the 18" size I want to buy a pair, they have the best looking profile of any tire I've seen, they look wider than any holeshot I can buy.

Nice profile, great stance and good traction. They are 2 ply, so aggressive rock trails may cause a problem.

86250RZ, Here's the 18x11-9 Trekers on my 85 250R. They are kind of worn down. Super low profile to say least. Iran some 22x11-10 Trekers on my 84 KXT for trails. I'm trying to sell them on the classifieds page. Seems like all the sizes have different center lugs in the tread.

I love the profile of those tires, I may order a pair and try them out. I love my holshots they just dont offer them in that size (18x11x9) :evil:

P.S. Love the Tecate Jeb, let me know when your ready to sell :D

The left side shroud, rear fender and front fender was replaced through Kawasaki. The light cover and right shroud was scraped, sanded and polished with plastic polish. Still off by color, but the best I can do without replcement parts.
