Dyno Doug Hass former Kawasaki Factor Engineer and I have been working on a lot of projects...
Doug has provided me with a lot of technical information for various builds including my land speed attempt.
As you follow this thread you will understand why I named this one "The Haas"
If you have followed any of my builds you will know that I generally try to do something a little different or better than previous builds.
So here is the build plan for this bike.
19-21 KX450 forks, wheels, and brakes. No big deal as I have done that before.
But add to that a 19-21 KX450f rear shock
Yes... Shocking
Some of you may be unaware of this but the reason that you can't use a 450F shock is because there is not enough clearance for the pipe stinger where it passes above the shock reservoir and you would have to flatten it to make it fit.
This build will be a bit of a journey so stay tuned.
If your KX500 does not have these engine guards, it's not a Haas build..
