    It looks BEAUTIFUL to me!!!!
    It looks to be in about the same shape as my 87 was when I got it. And you can see the picture under my name it came out OK.

    GOOD LUCK W/ IT

    thanks. i just ordered a stator and flywheel. it is missing a few other parts but i have them on the way. the biggest problem is that i do not have a pipe or silencer. I am thinking of trying to fit a kx250 pipe. i had good luck making the cr500 pipe fit my 500r.

    does anyone have any plastic to sell, i will even consider cracked stuff if it is presentable
    thanks
    chris

    PS. i also picked up a kx500 in the deal

    Glad to see another coming back to life!


    But why waste time with a KX250 Pipe? Get a new DG pipe and silencer for it. You can get them from Dennis Kirk or James Lucky.

    Be glad the right hand shroud is in as good a shape as it is. Even cracked right shrouds are going for ridiculous prices. Head light covers too. Hopefully you'll find someone that's never seen ebay. It shouldn't be any problem finding a front fender, rear fender, and left shroud. You can probably still get those pieces from Kawasaki. You could go with the new shiny maier front and rear fenders.

    What year KX500 did you get? Do you mind checking to see if the KX500 frame will accept a Tecate Swingarm and triple clamps? I would like to know if the swingarm will just bolt up to the frame and engine. Not really worried about linkage. And on the triple tree if it will bolt to the frame and if not could/would you have to press the stem out of the kx500 triple clamps and into the Tecate clamps.

    I bet the thing turned on a dime with that short 85 rear end...that is if you could actually keep the front end down. It's hard enough with the stock swingarm.



    Thanks and Good Luck with it.

    ps... I have an extra stock 86 pipe in good shape, but I'll only trade it for a Cal-Fab swingarm.... heh heh. :-D

    I have a stock pipe w/o a silencer available but you probably want something aftermarket..??

    What ignition did you buy? I see people listing some aftermarket / oem copies on ebay and am curious if they are any good. I am looking to replace my motoplat with something closer to OEM...

    Curtis.

    I still know of someone with a KX500 in a T3 that I will try and see if I can talk him out of it the next time I am in california.
    I love anything with an engine except a lawnmower...

    Dennis Kirk lists the 86 DG exhaust on their web catalog. The silencer is in stock at $78. The pipe is $170 but it says "expected soon". I've emailed James Lucky about the exhaust. I'll let you know if I hear from them. They may not offer them anymore.

    I appreciate the offer for a replica swingarm. But I really want to hold out for the real thing. I'll find one someday.

    djcheeze, drop me a line if you do come up with those factory plastics. :-D
