    Exclamation restarting an old project!! kxt500 pics

    i bet most of you forgot about this and the other wish that they could :lmao:

    the chassis consist of a 85 250r frame heavily modified with a 6" swinger and more.

    the engine is a 91 kx500.

    the plastic is all tecate :duck:

    right now i am having some issues with the brake caliper and carrier not meshing right. i think it may be a 400ex carrier or something because it will not adjust right. i will be taking the rear axle off of the 500r tomorrow to compare.






    body on



    these are NOT the final frame / pipe colors:lmao:

    i am thinking either white or black on the frame and green accents.

    i think i had it in wrong. i could not adjust the chain without the caliper bolts hitting. i took it all apart and figured it out. it is together now.

    i still have to
    mount the brake resivouir
    make an air intake
    make a shifter
    mount the radiator guards
    make some mounts for the shrouds
    finish mounting the front fender.
    remount the shock resivouir since it is in the way of the air intake
    get a new throttle cable
