'86 Kawasaki 454 LTD Bobber

[rojo_grande]

I picked up this '86 454 LTD last year as a non-runner from a donate your auto type charity and the price was almost too good. Was told that it had been sitting for "a while". There was a sticker on the fender from a local community college from 1994 so assume it was parked in the late '90's. The tank had a few big dents on the right side. But the bike itself was complete.

Change of fluids, a new battery, some fresh gas, and a little contact cleaner on the ignition switch and the LTD roared to life. Cleaned the carbs up and he runs like a scalded ape and pulls like a train. Very high revving and quick bike for a 454cc.

A new/used tank, euro bend bars, trailer fender, and a few other odds and ends off ebay for the bobber conversion. Fabbed up some brackets to relocated the license plate, brake light and turn signals. A little matte black and maroon paint.
