Yes that pipe is the same as I was working on.  The graphics are of a little girl covered in blood with a chainsaw behind her back.  I think it's fitting for a 250 with a 500 engine in it.  I wonder what happend to davidvak1 I saw he was on here earlier reading this post but he did not reply I thought that was odd, he's the one who asked to see are bikes :?

woow mean monster!! :-o

do you have the flagmount ?
and is it for safety reasons ?

nice conversion!!
At the sand dunes we have to have a flag by law and that is the only place that bike gets ridden so yes it has a flag mount.

bdi, after i examined the pix of your bike i noticed that you are running the three ribbed kings front sand tire. how do you like it compared to other fronts you've tried in sand?  MADDOGGY

the only place I can really say it makes a difference is when you are side tracking a dune. If you try to turn up the dune it will actually go up the dune. If you noticed the back tire, that tire sucks and that was the first and last time it will ever see the dunes. At high speeds that tire is scary it rides up on those fins and gets real squirly at 80+ mph that is no fun and it does not hook that well so back to the king turbo 8 cup

one other question here bdi, i run the plain silver rims and after a trip to the dunes i noticed the rims were buffed to a dull satin finish. i have considered going to an anodized colored rim like you have but i wonder if the color would wear off in the sand eventually. have you noticed any change in the finish since the rims were new?

If you put anodized rims on your bike and ride in the sand they will fade  :-( My buddies red wheels were pink in about a season and a half.

        I don't take it hard I do the things I do for me, if some one else happens to like it thats a bonus. Theres are two reasons the frame is red First reason is I thought it was something no one else would do to a kx. The second reason is the candy apple red powder coat over chrome matches all the anodized red hardware and the blood in the graphics.
