Trying to get some history on my current project and hoping this bike may look familiar to someone? It now lives in Australia

no recognize from my 5 yrs of surfing kaw pics ......boy ii love it.....the swing arm and shocks steal the thunder and imo belong on another bike......take the pretty one and put too many directions....she gets ok but not like she was....looks like about six different bikes tossed into one and retro paint


but still cool as hell...does it run...does it wobbly wobbly :P

Gotta agree with Trianglelaguna....very distinctive changes on the bike would have triggered a memory had I seen it before. I would definitely have remembered the upside down Marzocchi's...

Oh well, thanks guys. Thought it was worth a try.
Was originally sold to Australian buyer through Ebay, though that swingarm, shocks and wheels had been replaced by original type before being sold.
That seller had picked it up someplace in the US, but didn't really know anything about it either.
Anyway she's undergoing a major transformation at present.

Well, this is how it looks now. Fair old transformation! Just need a set of 4-4's now and she's finished.
