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

thats what i tried to say..
...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...
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...
