I really love those caliper mounts with built in guards. Can you see if MXA has a spare one lying around for a 2017 KXF 250F.  It’s for a friend.  :-D

Lol... I wish I had some pull like that.
I spoke to TM Designs... As it turns out, they have to sell 3-5 sets at retail to make back what they give away for sponsorship or magazine builds.. :-o
I had a idea as I have been asked many times over the years to do sponsorships and it rarely works out for the sponsor  :roll:
Which is why I'm thankful that they did this foe me...

Renthal did me a huge favor in providing a chain and sprocket set... Nice!!!

Not a thing  :-o
Still waiting to see what MXA will do for internal engine parts...
It's a hard sell because Companies need to know that their donation will come back in advertising...
It's a lot harder to advertise internal engine parts then other external parts...
Don't be surprised if the bike looks like a Christmas tree with all the stickers likely to be on it...

Are you sure you don’t have an extra motor lying around so you can test this dude out?  Sean doesn’t need two, does he?   :-D

Who is doing your powder coat?

The guy I was going to take it to just had his shop burn down  :-o
So, I'll likely have to take it elsewhere...  :-(

Honestly, I feel unworthy...
After being a member of this site for the last 7 years I have seen some amazing builds.
I'm doing my best to make a unique, powerful, good handling, great looking bike to represent the KX world and this site.
Most of what I have learned about modding and building came from this site.
I have a lot of members here to thank and you all know who you are  :lol:

Thank you again guys...

Dirt Bike has a KTM 440 conversion on their main page today.  It's a pretty nice bike, but I bet they wouldn't want to race you when you're done with yours.   :-D

Yep, it's wrong side drive and kick.   :-o

That's a nice build...
There is some rumbling about a modern chassis 380 build in the works... But I wouldn't know anything about that  :-o
