I will keep an eye out for another and if one turns up I will contact you with details.

that would be spot on scott thanks,

I'd try and get one as young or as mint as possible - for obvious reasons........

there was a guy that asked a seller of a CR500 on ebay if he would like to P/X with his KX5:

the seller sent the KX guy's address : leeparker23@blueyonder.co.uk but he hasnt replied to any emails i've sent....
Ebay community says he has a feedback of 0 (maybe he doesent check his emails often).

Its quite funny the ads i've put in the papers - people keep contacting me asking would i like to buy their Zeyphr 750!! LOL  

anyways - on with the hunt

As far as I have seen over here a mint KX 500 is a bit like hens teeth and rocking horse s**te all rolled into one.

The most recent KX500 I have ever heard of over here was a 97 but bear in mind that then engines have remained unchanged since about 90, they have run the same part number for the pistons since before that and the plastics have been the same since about 88.

Since 90 and 2004 as far as I am concerned about the only significant changes (as regards turning it into a supermoto with a big brake disc decent lights) have been the forks cos the caliper mounts are different and the flywheel cos it would be nice to fit one of those E-line 200 watt flywheel weight/lighting coil and ignition cover kits.

Oh and heres a pic of Todwunches KX with the Zipty kit fitted, I have the same kit but as yet no pics.

oh - that zippy kits is nice, although the standard one with a nice chrome FMF pipe is hard to beat too!

I bet it hard to find young KX5's about - thats why i've been trying to contact the lee parker guy that was on ebay.

on with the hunt
