Just got back in town...

It looks like a good bike..  but hard to tell in pictures...   pry more info from him.   and MORE pictures...


here is a picture of destry abbots bike.   you can see the Varner decal on the Jug behind the pipe..




and here is a better shot...


Just remember.. Like I tell everyone that asks me these questions..   unless I can hold it in my hand,  see it on the bike, or you have a recipt. with a date on it...   It never happened..   (I.E. fresh top ends,  so and so's motor.   200HP...   etc..).    Im sure sandblaster can vouch for this.. of how many "fresh top end" bikes he gets, that are trash..

sandblaster:
VERIFIED

teambft:
Man, what a trick bike!!! :-D

cbmoor:
The removable foot rest hanger looks like the one on my 1988 bike unlike the ones on the newer bikes, do you think thats a titanium hand made one.

BronkoRob:
well it doesnt sounds like the tricked out KX500 is gonna happen.  guy lost the title, has a few years of back fees, etc.i bought a bike without a title once....never again.  anyways kinda bummed out.  but got a lead on an 02 freshly powder coated frame, zipty tank and zipty low boy, hydro clutch, lighting coil...75 watts he says, not much, but some light is always better than no light.  PMB stand, and supposed to have documented top end replacement and cylinder replating.  so gonna check it out this friday, and hopefully i will be back in the club.

so the two low boy pipes made for the zip ty tank, one is the FMF, and the other is???  is there any difference in the power characteristics between the 2 low boy pipes?  the first KX i was looking at had the FMF, this one has...the other one.
