Do the exhaust have any stamping. Yes hang on the the original MC. Most of the time they are rebuildable

It looks very nice! The tires you want are as Mikaw mentioned. Look for a K87 Gold Seal for the rear. F11 for the front. There are other Dunlops but you should look for ones made in Japan.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Very nice looking bike Hamsteak! I must say I was never a real fan of the green colored Kawasaki's back in the day, but over time my thoughts have changed on that. I really like that color today. You are fortunate you didn't have to dig into the engine or much of anything to get it running and looking so well. Brakes and tires are important items for sure. Do you know who made the exhaust system you purchased? Doremi or Delkevic? It looks nice for sure... Did you have any issues with exhaust installation?

The exhaust has no stamping at all that I can remember so I have no idea who the manufacturer is. It's the units sold by Z1 Enterprises and they look and feel almost identical to the stock exhaust I took off. I'm keeping the old exhaust and it'd be great to get them working again but I'm not sure who could do something like that and I've not researched it yet.
Thanks for the tips on tires you all are great!

I think Z1E sells Doremi pipes. If you check at the hole where the bolt mounts at the rear you will see their markings. I can't recall which side of the pipe has the marking.
