kwakman:
yes, 85 motor.sourcing powervalves are the only issues with your 87 lump, (85 doesn't have p/v) but if they're good, your in business, I can find everything else or substitute a part from a newer model in certain places.hth, K.

turdle:
you can get pretty much everything aftermarket,on ebay or alot of bike build sites,like our resident pinsonnault racing!! on the front shocks ,it depends on what you are going to do with the bike. if you are going to play ride,i say they are good enough. if you are going to race it, i would do a USD conv. on the plastics, there are some threads on site with step by step instructions for newer plastics :-)

Millertime:
Hey Turdle you wouldnt by chance have a link to one of threads with the plastic conversions would you? I tried using the search feature but perhaps im just not wording it correctly as im coming up empty handed.

Also i just want to say all you guys are awesome! Everybody on here is very helpful and very well mannered and i just want to thanks again for all your guys help and the help to come I really appreciate it!!  :-)

after you have 10 posts ,you will be able to see more thread topics. there are a couple specifically under KX 500 origonal, retro fitting newer fenders to the older bikes. i bought my fender last fall but havent done it yet.92 straight fender mod is one of them
