That KLX looks great. Just a question. What pipe did you use. On my KLX conversion, I stuck with the service honda one. It looks like it has a longer transition at both ends.

i found a spare head up in the loft amongst a bunch of kx and cr500 engines so i gave the old decomp thing a try....I used an auto decomp unit off a victa lawn mower...Its not pretty but man it dumps some air out of it....and its auto....i will work on a more tidy version when i have time

another thing i noticed was the original stand was rubbish....i cut the original pipe out and used material with a thicker wall
