again I wanted to Thank everyone on this forum for their help, without all of you posting your builds and JFAB rails this would of been alot more difficult. IT took me right at a month to complete my build. I rode it this weekend and man what a blast... Thanks again to everyone ....

If mine turns out half as good, I'd be very proud.

Beautiful Job, but I would have the # 250 on my bike for the 450 guys to think they could whip up on the little bike.

Thanks Guys I really enjoyed it while it was running. Hope to have it back together sometime in june... After the blow up I have bought another 500 to be a doner but this bike is in pretty good shape and since I have alot of extra parts for a 500 from the first build I decided this year I would do a race that I have alway wanted to do. SO this Year I am running the 24 hours of Perry mountain On a 1995 KX 500 once this race is over then I will pull the motor and Put it back in the af Frame.
If you didn't see it on the other post this is what happened on its last ride
