new poormens project :)

[KX500freak]

this one i bought today for a bargain 
i once had a suzuki DR500s 4stroke and it felt good,
this was 17 years ago ,since then only 2smokers ,
but now times has changed,
its not a fancy 08 kxf or crf but still a lot of fun.

anyone here who had one or knows a thing or 2 about them,
i picked up some stories that said it s a good bike overall,
oke 34 bhp isn,t moving the world compared to k5 but..

the 350 is revised in 05 and has been standing for over a year,

any tips on how to remove the paint off it
or should i spray it simple green though

pics are how i got it today

guess no one,s in for some ktmtalk around here,
i did decide to stick with the blue however,not genuine either but nice enough.

this weekend i,m gonna ride some miles on dirt with it
in the winter i,ll shape it up ,now its playtime

i spend a lot of time on ktmtalk in the oldies section. user name over there is bob380sx. i don't know much about the old 4t's though. i think dc has plastics for it. most parts are still available and if your a ktmtalk member you get 15% of on parts @ munn. Chip at munn is very good at hunting down part for the older bikes. i will keep and look out for you over at ktmtalk.

thanx bigbellybob

ill register immediately and will go to oldies straight on

i,ve been riding it for 2 days now ,its just as funny as the supermoto ,
that i didn,t expect at first

[KX500freak]

well i did shaped her up a bit,
also a new can is mounted  which provides a huge poppop effect,
painted it black like my helmet and i must say i love it now.
i say to buddy,s its a usa style kinda bike

let me hear a comment guys

if you were thinkin,wtf is that fr.fender ....
yes its K5 and ever since its mounted its way faster 
fits really good on this bike i think

thanx Gdubb

its exact why i bought it ,streetplated mx bike,
its strong enough designed to jump like k5 and almost as funny riding on it.

[bigbellybob]

it looks good. what did you use for paint and how durable is it?

it looks good. what did you use for paint and how durable is it?

its Motip matt black and its so durable ,
you can spray on it with high pressure but it sticks ,
even bending for 40 percent doesn,t snap the paintlayer.
its a dutch brand btw
