I just wish that I had cleaned up the bridges and transfers.... but that will give me a good excuse to finish my next engine  :lol:

Here is a pic of a KX450F Hammerhead shift lever installed on my KX500.
If you wear a bigger boot size you can order them in different lengths.
This one is 20mm longer then stock.



Yes, my engine is filthy dirty...  :-P

Two heat cycles this morning.
Then I took two short rides about 2 hours apart.
Now I need to run a tank of gas all the way through it and I can see what it will do.
Hopefully everything is good so I can put my sand tires on it and ride at the dunes this weekend..

Motorrad hates my plastics  :cry:
That's ok.... I don't really like them either.
I need to do something else now that all the basic mods are taken care of.  8-)
