Are you looking for a retro look? I wonder if a modern pipe could be adapted? bit.ly/18WMKP5

If you want, send me the pipe and I can work up the layout. I just don't want to expand models until I confirm how well the pipe program I have, works for the 100 Kawi.

Just thought you might like to see some old MX pictures from 1974 the year of your bike. Bill Petro took these. He had a display at the Toronto Motorcycle Show this year covering motocross. This page has two good shots of the 1974 Manley's Kawasaki Factory motocross race team in the second row. This is from Copetown 1974. 1974 motocross linkIs that an Elsinore in the background third row down #18?

The problems of restoring something popular or rare.
You could fix that tank, repaint, sell the tank, then buy a whole other bike! Lol.
I have a 73 F12MX kawi that Id like to restore. It's vin 17 of 200. But I need a motor and exhaust and seat and.... Aargh
