Thanks and shout out to Valley Motorsport Westside for providing MV a brand new Kawasaki KLE500 for development purposes and test ride ! We have Machined the first set of 30mm rear suspension riser links out of 6061 T6 in order to provide a taller seat height, skid plate clearance, and a more capable off-road stance. This bike is amazingly nimble, wears its weight well, and has a very neutral stand up/off road riding position ? This bike punches above its weight class, and provides excellent bang for your bucks ! It truly needs to be ridden to be appreciated. This very bike will be back on Valleymotosports floor in the next couple days, as I have to begrudgingly return it to them at some point. Sigh... Cheers, Mike.
