fitted a now piston and ring on my boys kx125 2006 , i put the left hand rad on the hybrid and it fits well , just need to find a kx125 rad now!! nothing on ebay might sell the standard lhs rad from the kxf250 (2008)donor bike to get some funds .might have to get a new one ,its holding the build up at the mo!!!

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

found a guy on mxtrax breaking a 2005 kx125 got the rads heading my way should have by weekend hopefully !! got a pic of the 125 rad in situ, would like to hear it up and running by the end of may!!

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

got the rads in, got the temporary hose plan routed out , just need to put balance pipe on top of the rads to avoid air locks , getting the last rad mount tacked on , coil mounts then built the bike up .yokes ,forks,swing arm etc etc ,got an hgs pipe on the way slowly gettin there!!!

Looking good..

Nice routing on the hoses..



Have to ask... what are those Nifty alum Y-pipe's off of??

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

one is from my 2007 kxf250 , replaced all the hoses with samco silicone ones the piece that replaces the Y piece is in one section on the samco set ...very nice! the other is from the donor kxf250 rolling chassis.
the blue joiner is a thermo plastic one i used in an emergency when my old kx250 split a hose ..its a realy tight fit!!

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

*&@~# crap!!! one step forward two back !! had to scrap the hose routing and kxf rhs rad , got an hgs pipe today doesnt clear the rad so gonna have to use both the kx125 rads will work fine but ive cut down one of the pipes i now need !!!

Moral of the story is dont start until you have all the bits it doesnt  always work the way you want it to!!!  ho hum

not a great deal happening ,tigged the coil mounts on , made a brace for the front wishbone to tig on . waiting on a reply for some samco hoses to suit,sorting out a deal on a silencer and new airbox ( the kxf one a bit mullered ) then its the big assembly ..... still got to get new plastics and danger uk graphics 

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

spent the whole day assembling!! and polishing still shy on a few bits , front wheel spacers ,clutch cable,rear disc,silencer,racebikebitz still hasnt got back to me on the samco hoses will post photos 2moz night.....getting there slowly but surely

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

spent the last two days generaly fidling about got quite a bit done , re-done the engine spacers wasnt quite bang on just realy waiting on parts now not looking forward the the airbox , having to bend the rear brake lever and move the spring locating pin back as its hitting the clutch cover all in all  a stressy weekend !

Looking VERY GOOD sir, I really like the pipe. I too hate it when things dont go along with the way I had them planned out. With this economy, I am finding it hard to stay focused on the BEAST. However it looks like you are doing a fine job and clicking right along.

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

sylvester , i salute anybody whos building or has built a hybrid when you do it ,its no way as easy as it first seemed .i kinda forgot all the liitle details like the rear brake pedal ,front mudguard i had to cut down as i added an extra plate on the y piece of the frame etc etc bit of learning by mistakes i think , i can only begin to emagine how the guy with the kx500 hybrid who destroyed the motor and the frame must be soul destoying!!! im getting a bit sressed now gagging to fire it up .....still not looking  forward to the airbox syndrome.

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

ooh eer the standard clutch cables too short so is the throttle cable gonna have to get some bespoke ones from venhill, yet another setback ! on a positve note found an hgs silencer on ebay the last bbuild bits draggin somewhat, not sure if im gonna use danger uk for graphics yet ,think ill ask the facebook mx mates.

[royceymon@hotmail.co.uk]

got the samco hose at the weekend , fitted those babys , zeta wheel spacers also turned up , but the front rims mullered and have to have a new one !! the hgs silencer from ebay turned up today i think its from an 98-99 the mountings are offset but nay probs as i was going to refit anyway ...a bargain for ?45 in very good condition as well!!
starting to look like a bike at last!!
im going to make a reed spacer as alot of people seem to ,got the airboot at last a 98 to 2002 i believe , will fit ok with the reed spacer!!
