Lots of work ahead.. :mrgreen:
you will get it done rick
Nice bike to start with Rick. I am looking forward to the transformation.
Remember…lots of pics.

I dunno Rick,
That one looks more like it should be a restoration job rather than a hack it apart and build a road racer from it project, but you’re the boss!
Or… are you looking at defraying the cost of the conversion by selling the (many) stock parts to restorers?
BTW, a TR2 fairing should fit around those pesky carbs that stick out the sides of the motor, but you already knew that, didn’t you?
Now, if you could find some A1-R cylinders for it…
Good luck on your project - and lotsa photos.

That’s what everyone says Pat. If I had another bike I’d save this one..these little buggers are hard to find in any condition… :mrgreen:
interesting smoker bike, what model / year kawasaki is it?
1967 A1 250 Samurai :mrgreen:
Rick has the best interests of the Samurai in mind, it really does need to enjoy a 2nd childhood as a P1 racer. Born to be wild or at least green. Certainly needs a proper exhaust and less tinwork.
Lots of progress today… :mrgreen:
NICE!
If everybody shows up at the dance, should be at least 3 of these wee beasties running this year if I’ve counted correctly.
Also heard about a race-spec Honda 250 (CB72) lurking about, but might be more fiction than fact and the subject of another thread…
Gonna be a great year for P1.
Pat
Hey Rick..build looks great..
Can I asked how you did the frame?..powder coat or paint?..professional or spray bomb ? etc etc.
Cheers
Scott
I sent it to a machine shop and had it put in an oven and then bead blasted. Plasti-coat alternator paint and the 2 coats of clear…
Cool…thanks for the info
Scott
3 Months later…I rode it for the 1st time today…hopefully ready for the TT… :mrgreen:

Very nice Rick, look forward to seeing it Saturday.
