The swingarm looks a bit long. What kind of frame is that? I need to build one!

Share the secret!!! How much fabrication did you need? can you show the motor mounts? This is the coolest 500 I've ever seen. Please share some more information on this project.

Wow... I thought I was looking at an 80 or something until I started reading the other posts... that thing is SWEET!  That thing must of cost a pretty penny to put together.

That has got to be the best natural fit of a KX500 engine in a modern frame that I have seen. I would have not guessed that the 250F frame would be the best place to start. Cam.
