yeah you have a superb k5 its a mean thing to see
mine are not that aggresive looking ,more vintage green & blue my 91,er
and the 94,er color purple sm under construction

i all ready met wilhelm tell with e-mail
he,s friends with mike , you are buddy,s with mike too i could understand?

he,s got one hell of a kx going on ,also a movie i saw yet 10 times  :mrgreen:
did you see my pics yet, i,m beginner too first year of sumo



btw the work on the front 4 pistonbrake is progressing
i fitted the disc on and made room for the caliper with the spokes
now i,m fabricating a single 8 mm alloy adaptor plate ,
in between the caliper and the disc .
so the brakeforces are all alligned a 100% straight alongside the forks end
so there,s no room for material that gives way or wrings by heavy use :-D

Looking good! 8-)

Be sure you use minimum 10mm aluminium bracket to stop flexing. :wink:

Yes,Mike M is a friend of mine,but we haven?t actually meet in person.
Mike doesn?t speak english and I doesn?t speak german! :oops:
I write english and translate into german by altavista babelfish.
BUT you can be my translater if you want? 8-)

BUT I can use time to modify my bikes,just now thinking about how do I reduce trail on stock tripleclamp. :wink:
I mounted Piwot Pegs on my mx bike last week and will try them next week at a MX-track.

do you have a kx500mx doordie? :evil:

i did finish the bracket for the tokico caliper today.
fine tuning and all thing together kost wel over 24 hours of hard labour.
but for a first time and from scratch,
i managed to make quite some braking..i hope if not i,ll do it right over in stainless steel.. :-P

now i will get pics first thing tomorrow,
finally i can go to painting the frame kawi green.
then fit in the rearwheel &break,
and further assembly of the drive chain ,need  new chain guide! :x
