Kawasaki W800 Korea

Kawasaki W800 Korea

Our brothers in Seoul in cahoots with workshop Crazy Garage took it upon themselves to give this Kawasaki W800 sled a complete overhaul and tracker conversion.

Purring and ready for the flat track, the front end of this W800 sports an aluminium front plate with a halogen lamp, SHOWA fully adjustable forks, Ducati clamps, and is tied together with race-inspired handle controls.

The airbox was gutted and replaced with two velocity stacks and coupled with an essential 2-2 exhaust system optimising airflow both in and out.

Both wheels were converted to 19” for a more conventional flat track size and lovingly powder-coated in premium black and then fitted with the obligatory Dunlop K180 tyres.

The rear shocks were replaced by a pair of OHLINS to ensure a compliance as well as control. A Brembo radial master cylinder with an oversized rotor was then fitted to pull the whole shebang up.

An NHK steering damper was installed for better control in the rough when they’re sliding left.

Fuel injection is authorised by a Power Commander V piggybacked to the ECU, making sure to always mix a perfect fuel cocktail.

With all the comfort and performance resolved, Jackpot custom painting swooped in for a facelift and recolour of the newly minted flat tracker.

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!
