KX500 - plastics - anything interchangeable with KX125?

[AZdirtRiDeR]

Okay, here's one for you.

Regarding parts and plastics, what isn't interchageable between the K5 and Kx125?

BIG QUESTION: how hard would it be to mount the K5 motor inthe KX125 frame?  It's probably not a bolt in transition, but just HOW HARD would it be?

The k5 plastic from 89-04  will fit 88-89 kx 124 and 250 . also fits a bunch of yrs on the kdx's

I won't quote any models.  But I have bolted many different models of plastic on my '89.  Like mentioned above, ALOT of early '90s KX plastic fits on the KX.  I don't want to mention any exact years cause I don't want to miss quote you.  But I have a KX125/250 fenders, number plate and gas tank.

When I was in Junior High I had a '93 KX125 with a '92 KDX200 motor.  It was a fantastic bike.  A bike my Dad has regreted letting me sell ever since.  He's had three different 200's ('98KDX, '01KTM and now a Gas Gas) trying to find something that matched that peticular bike.

Alittle off topic I know.  But I encourage the hell out of you to build a KX125 based 500.  I think alot of guys on here are devoted fans of the steel frame.  But let me say that once you ride a modern 500 you'll kick yourself for not transitioning sooner.  Worth every penny, drop of sweat and broken knuckle
