I will agree with Barn on one thing, Jeff Fredette is the absolute authority on anything KDX. You're in very good hands with Jason Hall, but don't be afraid to bend Jeff's ear on anything KDX related. He helped us out a ton sourcing parts on a friends 85 KDX200.

Joe, what pipe is Jacob using on his 200?

[86T3]

I can't remember, I think they used a 250r pipe. I'may racing with them Saturday, I'll ask and get some pics

[bkm]

Please do. This has me intrigued.

Well since 86t3 said he doesn't mind the banter, yes, and it is rather interesting. Some people never stop learning, and have a desire to acquire and hone skills that may not otherwise be learned if not through change.

Valve body or manifold? The finish is a little rough. I'm assuming it's made in a pretty small mill?

Yes it's a hydraulic manifold. Yes the finish is a little rough on that particular piece. I guess small would be relative, that block weighs 120 lbs with no valves or fittings in it.

Here's some smaller ones. These would make nice chunks for triples.

[El Camexican]

There was nothing else in the original photo to judge the size by, they're much bigger than I thought they were. I was thinking they were about 20 inches long. How long is the bed of the mill that they make the surface passes on? Pretty cool, unfortunately with all those perforations any scrap parts wouldn't be good for a set of triples. Besides that it's pretty hard to convince anybody to pull tooling off the table so that you can make a part during lunch.

We don't machine aluminum where I work. I never said we did. I said I had the resources, which means I have a readily available supply of billet aluminum that I can acquire at MUCH prices better than the norm, and believe it or not I also know a machinist or ten, some of the best I know work in buildings adjacent to my work.

Yea that first block is big. The large cartridges require 200ft/lbs of torque. Almost as much as mickeys 350x

I don't think I mentioned aluminum either. I just assumed you'd use steel, or cast iron based on some of your previous posts. The term "resources" is a little vague. It can mean anything from access to a machine shop to enough cash to pay someone make them.

Got some pics of the Hall's kdx 200/250r. The swing arm mount was moved an inch forward, combined with an 04-05 trx swing arm makes for a -2 length. The motor was bone stock at pine lake but has a new piston and port job now. The pipe is a dg 250r pipe with the kdx flange welded on. Jacob wine the lites class at Hamlin Speedway against some great competition of Dwight Jekyl on his selvy 200r and Bryan Ditch on his Mikey Dunlap full race 350x.

Extremely cool, but where's the friggen video of the race?

I also think the Kawi engine is a GREAT upgrade to the Honda, and now with the rear end upgraded, all he needs to do is put some '86 forks on it from "The TECATE....The Most Powerful 3 Wheeler In The Universe" and he should be unbeatable on any track!

[86T3]

Dwight usually posts videos of his races, I'll share the link k if he does

[Dirtcrasher]

I have it, Raffa probably does too. I'll get them uploaded to Youtube....

Yea, he's amazing. They almost changed the name to Mikeasaki back in the mid 80's.
