One of my winter projects is to transform my 2002 KX500 into a super motard style street bike. I will repaint the frame black, put on new plastic, 17 inch gold wheels/tires, gold cush drive hub, lights, kickstand, etc... I expect that I can easily switch back to my original dirt wheels/tires if I want to ride off-road. I already put on a 16 ounce flywheel weight to reduce the chance of stalling when in traffic. When the frame is removed for paint I will reinforce the pipe mounting points to reduce the typical mounting pad cracking problem. I can't wait to ride it on the street!
