OK, no build pics because it is the same as others. KX500 cradle grafted into the 05KX250f steel chassis. Using the A kit suspension, ti pegs and dirt star wheels off my sons 12 KX450. Frame, radiators, airbox, seat and tank off ebay for $280.00. Swingarm with all the spacers, dogbone, axle and pivot bolt from ebay too, $ 129.00. The motor came from a guy that had it in a go kart for $ 50.00. Had to get a reed valve and boot from Sandblaster, $ 30.00, I have not even taken the head off. Modded the radiators to fit the KX500 and put the kx500 pipe from the motor and welded a CR500 pipe I had, together to make a clean looking pipe. Misc. levers and bars with some nuts and bolts from the KX250f and I have the most fun 500 I've built (have done 3 CR500AF's). Still getting the jetting completely dialed in but the motor is so smooth and the chassis is so good, I am having a ball riding this bike. Will post some pics as soon as I can snap them. Thanks to all for the fantastic info on the site. Looks like no more CR5's for me.
