Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

IMS KX500 tank question..

<< < (3/3)

USMC 500:
It would be nice if we could get the original jig from FMF and have the pipes made ourselves.  A source of mine told me that not even Don Emler himself might remember where the hell the thing ended up in their massive facility.

I just sent an email that might answer this question for us.....maybe.  Out of all our mechanical masters here who would be interested in buying the jig if it is made available?

conbread:
they have to see all the guys who still run these bikes in the desert, and that pipe would sell like hot cakes.... even if it cost a few more bucks than the regular pipe....

mabey we could chip in and help one of the master builders buy the gig...

RoostDaddy:
I'd also check to see if he has made any progress on his conversion if you get to chatting with him.  Supposed to be building a KTM with a K5 motor set-up to race the BAJA.  Might be another pipe in the making?  If you cant get him talking, I'd try with Gorr.  (thats where the conversation started, so I've read)
