There's a dedicated UK Gag Bike Forum but it's pretty much dead these days. 
I was asked to take it over, but I have far too much on my plate already. |
Hehe i would love to try a gagbike.  at 6ft8" and 16.5st it should be a funny sight to see..

Can't wait to see your little AR up and running TNG 
Did you have to weld the stud mount or has it held ok?

No probs TNG
FYI the tank cap lock barrel is the same as the tail flap lock - what I'm trying to say is that they are interchangeable. If your careful you should be able to pick the lock as long as the key isn't snapped off.
Unfortunately I don't think they are available from Kawasaki and no one makes a copy. If you get them open, it's easy to take out (or adjust) some of the lock slides that fit the key to make it easy to open and close using the new ignition barrel key (I've done this more than once myself  )
If the chrome key cover (round bit at the top where the key goes in) is damaged it can be repaired if your really careful. I've also done this more than once. You can only do this when the lock barrel is out of the cover(s)
Let us know how you get on, will help where I can ok

the battery is on charge.. but does it need a charge if its got a kick start?, i know it seems like a silly question. but i have never even used a 2 stroke ... never mind try to fix one

Yep - and if I knew want I was doing I would build one... But I don't
Never had one fail on me but I have been told that when they do they can go with a bang... 
So I stick to what I know works

On the contrary TNG I think people on here will think its great your making the AR what you want it to be. That's the essence of this site Diffrent' and not many rebuild ARs ... Even less build trick ones - soooooo please don't give up on the, I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes
What bike are the USD forks off and what wheels are you thinking of using?
