Tonight I've been searching the net, this site and mine computer for side covers of 250's and 500's.

I think the "250" cover of Liles kx500sr is a special 500 cover.
The upper oil plug is in a angle and a bit more to the back.
With a 500 the waterpump and coverner are at a angle, 250 almost straigth down inline.


With Sandblasters option we AF guys could weld the stock filler plug hole for more clearence for the exhaust.
Looks like you gave me some work to do Sandblaster :mrgreen:

As soon as we get the initial adapters back and we work out a good method for doing everything and we will make these available.
Eventually I can see making our own customized covers but still using the KX450F template so that you can run either... With punisher skulls, talk to the pipe, and lexan windows, ect

thats what i tried to say..  :wink:  ...its a full gp-factory-bike. it seems that this engine is next step of evolution, that never came to production.
it looks for me that it use the basket like the later 250´s for an smaller engine. waterpump is also later 250 (92-2004)..  the factory has much more possibilities to do special engine parts , like we can dream of...  :wink:
but we can look at it for inspiring our mind...  :-)

the single pic from the first post here:


here is a view to kurt nicolls 88 kx500sr ...  if you look good, youll see that it use the newer kx500 engine with a very similar outer cover like the 88/89 kx250´s
and that is, what i want to have at least...

and kurt nicolls 87 kx500 sr full factory bike to show the cover on the older engine

we´ll see ...  :-D ... first i have to do projects with more priority ...
just caught this one on ebay. a very rare brand new ´86 kx500 cylinder head ..discontinued by kawasaki since long long years...
i say the deal of the year ...  8-)


now i have the option to use my k5-engine also in the 87-frame.
next thing is to find an good used 88/89 inner and outer clutch cover, when i have my bikes ready for the new season . its like finding a needle in a hay-barn ... but anywhere out there is the one, that i´m looking for. i feel it  :-D

if you wernt on the other side of our globe I would donate one to you. I have a fairly decant one I was saving to make one with, but have never gotten around to it but now am waiting for these to be on the market instead.

or this one looks better than mine

That's a good buy.

  the cover looks real good. ...  but like you said its half around the globe and i have to watch out, that i´m not running out of my little amount of money for my other projects, when i buy parts all over the world for expensive shipping and customs clearance costs. usa was always the bigger market for bikes and parts as germany and europe and so it is always a little pokergame...  :wink: 

toby .. would you shoot me a pm with a pic of yours??

Made a little more progress today making a weld fixture to keep the adapter from warping during weld.







Next I'll have my buddy plasma cut the ID and trim up the OD.
Then I'll have him surface grind the side that sits against the adapter  8-)

When I did my 2 piece, I just went for it. Welded it,ground it, cleaned it and installed it. No warpage or leaks. Seems like there is enough radiused edges to keep it flat.
