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!!

*&@~# 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

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.

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. :roll:
