    Thanks Edog! I'll get some swingarm pics when I get home tonight. Just picture a 250r swingarm, with kawi front and back welded to it LOL!

    What size lectron is that?
    It's a 44, with a 2.5 inch HRS intercooler pipe for an intake

    Love that pipe!

    Bike looks good
    Thanks it's getting there, the pipe was profiled from a kx500 hillclimb bike. The expansion chamber looks like a 55 gallon drum! I don't know how much she's puttin out, but it revs out like a 125!! I'm stoked to ride it. I've ridden it on the pavement, and that is just a deathwish, a 250 is way too fast for the pavement!!

    Thanks Guys! anyone know how to tune a lectron?

    2 things-

    If you're interested I got 500 decals for mine from Chaplin Kawasaki-


    And the other thing is, you put your fender decals on upside-down. I hate to nit-pick, but the upside-down fender decals are pet pieve of mine. Otherwise, she's beautiful! Great job!

    Is the water outlet near the head faceing rearward for a reason?

    Can you undo the two bolts and flip it around so the outlet is facing forward. It would look a bit neater.

    Very nice machine you have there.

    Search "Kx500 case saver" on ebay and get yourself an OXPARTS case saver. Don't want ruined cases over something as cheap as $30.
