KX500 supermotard ???

[KX500freak]

18 to1 OMG

thats a big tough thing then
but then again its a fine bike to see ,

and you have the big engined bike #105 in the back i understand?
now you,r building a supermoto too i red ?

you have pica,s then ?

here,s one for the green hearts

[KX500freak]

oo nice then!

you have pic of that beast?

i have streetlegal kx500 too,
coil and sm wheels are there and 320mm frontbrake also

this is my k5 btw

WildT, I wanna come visit! Sounds me and Amsterdam and Rotterdam would be getting along great!  ha ha ha ha 

hey, when you converted your bike for street useage, what do you do about the fact that it has no ignition lock/key? I mean, can anybody just jump on your bike and kickstart it and ride away? Or do you have some sort of system such as a keyed ignition to prevent that?

Thats what big locks and a chain are for

hey desert panther
whats your status with that project of making a k5 streetlegal,
any progressions made?? 

Yeah, i've made some progress, although not as much as I'd have liked. This bike ended up needed a full mechanical restoration, i've replaced two-thirds of the bike it seems!!! Draining my pocketbook and my patience. My biggest hurdle will be the charging system to power the electric lights. I cant seem to find a used one around anywhere, and new ones are like 500 bucks!

[KX500freak]

hey panther!

OMG 500 bucks for light is insane

its sick so expensive that stuff
here in holland there are 2 kx500 for sale both with the coil on it
weird bike it is ,years you see none,then al a sudden even two for sale

both bikes are 1500 euro


i,ve been shopping for 320mm disc and bracket
slicks for 1/8 of the new price
now going to buy sumo sprockets and kx250 rearfender for sm looks too

good luck anyway and keep us informed

[KX500freak]

here are my new goodies for the project k5SM

now i,m getting started

[KX500freak]

ive made pic of the shop where im building my KX500SM,
and maintaining off course
you can see parts of k5 everywhere
its small but cosy ,nice neighbours too

now i,m bringing fork and frontwheel to guy,
he will cut from single piece of alloy,
a bracket for 4 piston radialcaliper from cbr 1000 blade ,

then he,s fitting new 16mm radialbrakepump  for caliper
this will do the job and he says i,ll have brake feeling never felt before

then a solid nice rolling stoppie would be possible with one finger 

[Desert Panther]

Menno, excellent idea on the hybrid braking upgrades!, i am planning something similar for my own bike with a Tokico 6 piston caliper from a 1999 ZX-6R.

Your shop looks great, lots of stuff packed in there, looks as it should.  :-)What is that little bike sitting next to your ZX-10?

[KX500freak]

hey panther !

funny lill bike that is indeed
i build it from mx to sm myself it was funproject ,
with having some time to spend

its genuine suzi RM50 m.y. 1981
now its become little KX50SM
ment to be a scale 1/2 copy of the big K5

its 50cc with new prox piston and runs 60 mph 5 gear too!
i love it and never sell her again

[KX500freak]

here,s actionpic

[KX500freak]

now i,m back in business ,
i got my wheels back and put on the slicks

it,s a beginning 
now its braking time
fitting the 4 piston caliper and manufacture an adaptor for it

to be continued

Ziet er mooi uit Menno!! Wordt weer een monster:mrgreen:
Ben er ff uitgeweest kwa motors, maar ga de draad weer op pakken!!
Volgende week ga ik m'n cr250 poetsen, zodat ik m kan om ruilen voor een K-5 als vd Vegt mooie heeft.

      Dutchie!!!

[KX500freak]

hey peter

ik weet van van de vegte dat ie dr 4 heeft staan in de showroom
wel belangrijk is dat er geen een uitspringt !!
dus eigenlijk wel afgeragde bakken en dan de prijs ook nog
hij vraagt zo 2400 voor zon ding 
wij verbazen ons niet dat ze er dan ook al een eeuw staan trouwens
