Since we built our own SR a couple months ago, we wanted to build a vet racer KX450 that can give the older rider a little more confidence and feel out of their Kawasaki. Getting to customize the KX450 with an aftermarket chassis company like Ride Engineering really has opened my eyes up on what I can get out of this new generation Kawasaki chassis. Since the KX250 also has adopted the same chassis in 2025, most of these mods can roll over to the smaller green model as well.
