yeah it wont ever leave the family my brother comes here every 2nd weekend and just wants a bike to ride around the farm the crf is too small and tame for him and I think the crf is a better bike for Kath to ride so i will keep it but my bro will ride it for now.  Its a fun bike to ride but the 250 is better for me just glad my first 2t build started and runs great thats it 4 me Im off ridding today  braaaaappppp!!!!!!

Another thing the KDX runs a rear brake that is slotted out to hold in place with the swingarm and the kx has a floating brake thats connected to a rail that runs under the swingarm.  As their was some confusion earlier with the fitment of the wheel it is just the brake that was different and was a simple fix (the kx brake drum slides straight into the kdx wheel).  Thanx for all the help more than happy with the results Ill post some more pics with the good plastics and original (style) graphics.   I just pulled the 250 cylinder yesterday for a freshenup Ill keep yas posted .

Also Big thanx Sandblaster and Foxx4Beaver for all the stupid pm questions (I just wanted it to work).  Couldnt have done it on my own   

[Foxx4Beaver]

you're welcome!....and I don't look at anyone's questions as being stupid...if that were the case, then I should be wearing a helmet 24/7

[sandblaster]

No thanks necessary.
I am the master of dumb questions.... Just ask Motorrad

Short vid just starting to let her wind up a bit I ran a tank through it I should be right now?

[sandblaster]

A full tank?
In my opinion it's time to pin it to win it 
Sounds like it's running good.

[bens87braap]

yeah i ran a full tank over the last few days but just eased the power on.  She does sound good and heaps of power this weekend will be the test time for some hills

[bens87braap]

thats it Im done Im not going to wrap the tank yet it might get dropped a bit in its first 6 months.  So time to move now to the next project

[Foxx4Beaver]

looks great!...nice job.
I would suggest a crossbar pad on the handle bars....it can get a lil painful if your head slams into it for whatever reason
