Yeah, Jason Jacobson, the guy who took over for me on the group purchase effort on getting UFO to do a batch of 80+ purple KDX shrouds, went all out last order and had them make EVERYTHING for the '95+ KDX in purple aside from the radiator louvers, which may even come in the future.

I think we should take wagers on when Chuck's "soon to be hybrid" will be done... over or under the last day of summer '26

No, the hybrid is getting a NOS green Acerbis Elba headlight, which for many years now is only available in white, long since NLA in green...

I absolutely love the purple & green 1996 aesthetics, but going full purple on the plastics doesn't satisfy my tastes. The green frame, fenders, & headlight contrasted to the purple seat & shrouds (& scarce radiator louvers & KLX or KX fork protectors) is the look I prefer, with the right shroud graphics of course, and not the pastel purple shade of graphics sold on eBay from at least one seller, it has to be an accurate shade or hue of the Kawasaki violet purple...

LoL thanks for the motivation, brade...

If my wife does another cross country bicycle bikepacking journey, it'll get done this summer... If she's around home, it may as usual be a long slow process with sporadic hyperfocusing days occasionally...

Boyko Racing is going to be getting a cramk and a cylinder or two of mine soon. If I really push the time frame up, I may just pay RideJBI to revalve the forks with all their upgrade kit parts vs the DIY kit of the same parts and valving...
