New seat, side covers, front fender, fx evo 7 graphics, folding mirrors... wheels and tires going on next. I'm waiting on my head to come back from Larrys and I can finally ride the bike!  :-)

Thanks for the props guys.

Yes, these are FX graphics... Evo 7. This was the only graphics kit I could find for the kx5. It seems like only FX is making them now and they only make one kit.  :oops:

We gotta get Larry busy on our heads!  :-o

I've been looking at the stock pipe and thinking... d**n, that's ugly! So, I ordered an FMF gnarly woods pipe and a spark arrester muffler. Another $320+ sunk into my bike  :| but I'm totally done after this. I can't possibly need to buy anything else for this bike!  :-D :-o :?
