Have some video from mid Ohio. Good test day all around. Bike made it out for all 7 sessions. Still a few thing to sort out but it's getting there! Sorry that the camera tipped a little. Next upload won't have that.

Awesome!  Are you going to film some race footage?

That's awesome. There's so many threads that never end in a functional bike.  Really cool to see this out there ripping.

eventually I will get some. not entered in any racing yet. I am not even sure what class I could register this thing in really LOL

plus I don't have the coin to go racing yet. trying to build a house this year. once that is out of the way, game on!! still a lot of testing/tuning to do before I get to that level also

Also, my buddy followed me down the back straight on his 749 and said I was right around 115mph!! not bad for a dirt bike!

Hey guys. quick question...can a newer power valve style KX500 motor fit into my '85 frame?

My motor is fine and running good. but when the time comes that it doesn't or if something ever went drastically wrong, I am thinking an upgrade to a newer style motor is in order. parts are more readily available and just feel it would be a nice upgrade to the non-powervalve '85 motor.
