I want to ride it, along with everyone else I'm sure. The bike looks very clean! I would be interested in how well it works. Good Job!

Best Wishes,

Did you docment the process so it could help some else perform the same thing? What needed modified, any issues that were hard to over come, anything would be cool. Thanks. Nice job on the bike.

Wow! Amazing to see the overall product.. I am in love. That has to be the sweetest KX I've ever seen... Ever. May I ask a rough around budget?

Thanks for everyones enthusiasm, it is nice to share something like this with people who can appreciate it. I will try my best to write a comprehensive "how to", but after Ricks "how to" instructions on changing a tire the bar is set pretty high. Destry I saw a crash video of you on this website that makes me hesitate to let you swing a leg over it  :wink:, and Gowen aint no way in he** you are coming near it. I read your reply to Cam's best crash post!! your lucky to be walking  :-D.

Nice.

And double nice. It ain't-no-thang. I don't ask nor have ever asked to ride peoples bikes. I feel like your bike is like your woman, I would never ask to ride your girl. So, don't sweat the thought. But thanks for the offer. ;)

Hey, one question, is can we see the right side of the bike, where the pipe is and such to see how that looks!?  Very nice work too, I'll bet it'll be a blast to ride!

Your KX500AF  looks more than great!  You did a very nice clean job.  Sorry for not paying closer attention, but what year and model frame did you use ?  John

Thanks again everyone, the frame is an 06. the pipe is a CR500 with KX500 parts welded on. There is a separate topic regarding the pipe, http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,2525.msg17945.html#msg17945.
