If you are hesitant to get it dirty, perhaps I could take the first ride for you. LOL .  That thing looks sweet and looks  like it is fast.   What year and brand rear fender did you use?  I assume it is a kx250 fender. The gold hubs look nice, did you plate them ? Do you race  or trail ride?

Its had a couple of rides allready just without the rear wheel. Sorry otherwise.....  Rear guard is a 93 250 trimed to fit in. Not much effort required. I like the look. Brings the kx5 into the 21st century. Front guard is a UFO as is number board. The hubs are Talon. Billet jobbies. With excell rims and spokes. Race me mates on the trail rides. Its fast. But allways looking for that little bit more. Got a spare barrell from the old 500 wich I will send to Eric Gorr for a bore out and a portjob and replate. Then it should be a little closer to the ultimate goal.   :twisted:

They've been on for almost a year and now they are bubbling on the tank.  I have yet to see that NOT happen with any graphics.  The fumes coming through the plastic eventually have their way with it.  I even drain the tank and leave the cap off when not in use.

Its just a kx5 ufo brand scored from MX south. Fits nice with the front guard. Bit of mucking round tho.  See there is a new vinyl on the market now resisant to petrol vapour. Lets hope XGX can get on to it soon.

When I got my Talon /Excel supermoto wheels with black hubs they (Talon that is) didn't have any black rims so I ended up with silver ones....

Wish I had managed to get the black ones to match the hubs :(
