So I just read this whole thread to see you sold your KX5SM and you lived in Washington State. I just bought a 99 KX500 last year rode it once before doing the Desert 100 last year where I crashed 2 times pretty good because I couldn't feel my fingers after 30 miles. After breaking my leg and pushing the bike 1.5 miles remaining in the race I have finally got the itch to ride some more or maybe convert to a SM. What do you think the total price is to convert? I wish I would have seen yours for sale.
