I bought my KX500 ?93 model in spring 2008 . And i have been buying things bit by bit.

It looked like this when i bought it.

This is in spring 2009 , yamaha big wheel 350 on the side.

Summer 2010 .

Now i have taken it apart yet again and i?m going to have it powder-coated the frame, sub-frame , rear suspension and a few of the smaller pieces.
If anyone has any fresh ideas it is very welcomed

well its not all that fresh of an idea but.....Lose that Jai Lai thrower of a rear fender and do the kx250 fender mod...really modernizes the bike IMO

It's looking good.
Did you replace the forks or was it done before you bought it?

i dont really like modern looks on older bikes because its plainly just not the same as it was supposed to be.
as i like to say = i like to be old school

The forks are WP that came of a KTM.
I have also always liked the old school look but i?m thinking about converting to the 2004 look , white side panels and black tank and a silver frame. Or just allt black and a silver frame.
