I'd just drop a piece of sheet steel in the bottom of the pan and run that until it rusts through, then repeat. You could probably commission a stainless steel pan for about $100 from a local fabricator.

Welcome to the quieter side of Kawasaki!

My '89 started out blue but for a variety of reasons got rattle-canned matt black with fluorescent highlights (see my sig picture) and then many years later I decided to redo him in Kawasaki Team Green.
I tend not rely on being seen as in my experience being visible really doesn't help if they don't look. I just like the green.
If I ever get rich I will have him professionally resprayed the same green as the 2015 Concours14 with gloss black stripes and belly pan/lower.

after resurrecting my connie from her 5 year slumber last june, (iowa here) I rode every month of the year since june.
not every day, but at least once every month.
Granted, layers and thinking warm thoughts will only get one so far in the winter before one taps out and says "no mas!"
