Thank you sir, sometimes things done in desperation work out well in the end.

yes..full agreed .. i thought of doing the same with the rad-plastics, but was not sure, if it will fit correctly to the tank...

it's a pretty common thing to see here in the states, even on the 500's.

The holes line up but it's not a perfect fit. The fronts tip upward leaving a gap between the shroud and the recess in the tank of about 10 -11mm at the lower rear corner. The space it reveals is a little dull from the original plastic which draws attention. I guess a little polishing would help.

if the holes line up perfectly, is the rest easy going with little bit handcrafting...  :-)

 In my case everything bolted up fine with no more fitting and is good enough in my camp.

You can see the mismatch at the tank in these pictures.

My '04 KX250 /BB 300
Owned since new, raced for many a seasons in Enduro's then was parked for about 2 years in pieces.  Decided to finally big-bore up to 300cc, welded-up & repainted the frame, swapped over my enduro goodies (200w E-line lighting coil, 18" rear wheel, '03 KX250 open-chamber forks, Flexx bars, 13/52 gearing, etc).  Used thinner base gasket then stock to bump compression up & running on 110 leaded race juice with spot-on jetting.  I now kick my self in the arse for not having done the big-bore sooner!  6 months in & it's still tight as ever!



Picture from the first full season on him when he was new:
