I just want to stick like glue on the hard stuff... But if it adds a little bling, then that is good too  :-D

Dang! Looks sharp! I went back just a bit in the thread, but did not say where you got your wheels. ProCycle? What is your rim width?

They have a KX 500 oversized rotor and relocator bracket, I asked several times and they did want to do it, lucky.

I checked the ProCycle site as they had a 320mm EBC brand set up, and it still shows available for 00-04 KX500. $200. Just FINALLY signed my refinance on the house this morning. Took long enough! Can start buying stuff again! Want to get the wheels going for my KX5 SuMo. Since I am keeping the stock green color, not sure about the wheel color. Yours are sure pretty though.

Years ago I bought my 320 EBC rotor for my sand bike from ProCycle.
Needless to say, stopping in general is not an issue.

Wheel color is always a hard choice.
What wheels are you going to get?

They offer Sun or Excel in the 3.5/4.25X17 size, silver, black or gold, so that was to be my choice. I have a set of stock hubs in great condition, and considered building them myself and just buying the rims and spokes. At $80 to build them I will let them do it! Been over 10 years since I did a set, plus it would be nice to just get them all built up and put them on. I was going to purchase a Baja offroad kit also, but am tempted to give my dual headlight set up and flush mounts a go, even though they are not DOT. I do not know how sticky the inspection is on that.
First is all the other crap still waiting in the garage! I got parts today and should have the KZ1000 on the road tomorrow. Swapped out the 26 mechanicals for a set of 34 CV's and it caused fitment problems I had not read about anywhere. Not to mention the electronic ignition I swapped on to it. It is always somthing!

I almost built a set of wheels with stock hubs but it wasn't that much more to get a full set already done.
If it was winter I would have built my own.... But with summer here, I just don't have the time...

To finish the basics I still need my frame guards, fork guards, radiator screens, decals, tires, tool bag, fork springs, shock spring, and something cool to hold extra premix....
And of course suggestions are always appreciated  :lol:

Once that is done I'll start playing with my engine mods.... One at a time..

Current jetting.
carb: 41mm
Pilot 52
Main 170
Needle DGH 3rd position
Slide 7
Still seems a bit rich so I'll be working on that a bit.
Although it's really picking up the top end... and the front wheel....  :lol:

They have a 1.5 oz pack that I would mix with one gallon.  Pre-measured just squeeze it out.  Keep a few in a zip lock in your back pack.  People get weird about the 100-1 mix ratio.  I ran it for years in 5 different machines some with powervalves and it is great stuff!
