kx500 tripple clamps,...where are they at?
husky333:
I just managed to get a few carbon fibre parts to trick it up some more. Its gonna lookgood. But probably not for the purist.i would have had the frame powder coated but after the show I am selling it and didnt want to hide the fact it is a low hour bike. I am talking to the carbon fibre people over here about the possibility of building a monoqocue subframeand airbox. It will be VERY expensive to have a mold msde. Also, I am talking with Scalvini Italy about having a bunch of kx500 front plpes made, their stuff is pure art. They should look great with the carbon fibre and cnc silencers I have had made. Graffix and seat cover are making me nervous as I havnt got them yet.
I hope to have it built and ready for the camera by thursday.

wow...it's getting very interesting now....I've always liked/wanted carbon fiber silencers strictly for cosmetic reasons...but they are pricey....could buy a whole system for what a silencer costs.
monocoque air box construction??...d**n, you really want this thing to stand above the rest!
hope you get it all together in time!...lookin forward to seeing this.

Ok, well, the clamps are taking forever to clear UK customs and as a result i had to take the bike to the show with stock ones on. It still looked cool to me though. Plenty of admirers and people drooling over it. I hope to have my cokebottle swingarm by the end of March and i am still negotiating with the carbon fibre people about the monocoque subframe. Hope you like it??
Be gentle with the comment
