Handsome teardrop fuel tank, shorty front fender, and bobbed rear fender give the 500 LTD a sharp yet laid-back style. Low, stepped saddle and pull-back bars ensure laid-back riding comfort for two. Super low, 715 mm seat height puts both feet firmly on the tarmac. Laid down rear shocks offer spring preload adjustment and a smooth ride. Chrome-plated wire spoke wheels with 48 spokes front and 40 spokes rear add classic retro shine to Kawasakis smallest cruiser. Narrow 100/90-19 front tire with a beefy 140/90-15 rear tire complement the LTDs traditional cruiser styling. Large diameter, 41 mm, centre axle fork with thin wall tubes for light weight and exceptional rigidity. Smoothly controlled front wheel travel allows a boulevard ride. Drilled front disc brake and polished wheel hub add style to the front end.
