nice!...it's got a very clean look, I knew it would look good with the gold wheels/hubs.
have you had a chance to ride it much yet?
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

This is one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen. Beautiful job! Which pegs are you using and what model brake lever did u mount?

the steel frame 250f pegs even the 06 pegs fit and i think the 06 brake pedal fits too.  Hope I am remembering it  right :wink:

The pegs are Fastway Evo 3
the brake pedal is a Tusk (Rocky Mountain MC)

Bike looks great!  Where did you get the sweet wheels?

Are any pegs lower than the stock kx250 pegs? I've been looking for an extra bit of legroom on my 2000 kx250. An extra 5-10mm lower pegs would help immensely.

the way they mount can be high or low in the peg mount,  i think you could get them a little lower, let me do a test tomorrow.

Ride report?

Hey guys.

It is a blast to ride. I have only got to ride it about 2hrs though getting it jetted in. Still a little fat. I have had a personal issue come up that need my full attention and now unfortunately money. So I need to sell it. Thanks for all of the help with this.

i hope your personal issues are not to bad...   if i were you, i would try to keep the 500 and sell the 250 ...a 250 is always easier to get on the market, if the time comes back, that you want to have 2 bikes...

  this green k5-diamond needs only graphics (maybe monster graphics? ) to the finish   :wink: 
big 2 stroke bikes are weapons for real men, who don´t fear death or devil. ;O)
