Sean Colliers New KX500
« on: August 07, 2016, 02:19:27 PM »


Hey fellow KX fanatics!!  I along with Sandblaster have been tasked with building Sean's new KX500.  Parts are already being created and phone calls are already being made.  We have big plans for this bad boy as well as the current KX500.  Read the written summary in the link and you'll understand what is being done.  I only ask one favor.......I have already gotten tons of positive feedback on this but I have also gotten 1 very unprovoked negative PUBLIC comment on social media.  I ask that if you don't share the same view as I do that is fine, but please no negative comments.  BRAAAAAAP!!

There is a lot happening behind the scenes..
Oscar just touched on a few key points.
We are going to build Sean the best bike we can with what money, time, and materials allow.
If you have something special that you want to donate, please let us know.
And... I want to thank all of you that helped make this kind of build possible.
I could not possibly name them all here... Nor could I list all the different aspects of your help... But here is just a few... And in no specific order...  :lol:

I remember Motorrad making a comment on the spiffy washers that were on Destry's new bike a while back...

I found these a couple months ago...they appear to be very similar to the ones that were on Destrys bike...they might look good...

Oh yes... those washers would look very nice...

Here is verifying the fitment of a aftermarket brake lever.
I believe we will be using Hammerhead when the build is actually done..



Oh yes... it's time to get some progress going...
Thanks for the donor swing arm Pmcg.  8-) 8-)

As you are very well aware, your .02 is why this happened in the first place...
Remember all the seemingly pointless questions I bombed you with for about two years straight?  :lol:
So here we are... putting all your mods to work...  :wink:  8-)

.  I was going to go donate my $0.02.  Which is worth a pile of beans, so I'm told... But $5 is the minimum... I'm not that smart.

Why have you not called me to tell me about your new place?  Why have you not called me period?  What kind of Groomsman are you?   :-D

No, this is a different motor..
The one in his current bike was worked on by Frenchie...
At some point I should be getting my greasy mitts on it as well..
