Skid plate from 88+ KX

Still on order:
FMF silencer
OEM graphic kit

and some other misc

Anyhow let me know your thoughts.

Foxx4Beaver:
lookin sweet!

what did you have to do to modify the CRF pegs?...and are they stock CRF pegs?
that pipe was a "score"!

dpavelko:
It took a lot of cutting and grinding of the peg, there has to be a better swap out there. I would eventually get a nice set of aftermarket ones but I'd hate to chop them up like I had to do on the OEM CRF450 ones.

Also I am awaiting a natural colored IMS tank to come in.

Looks great! I will be restoring my old 86 250 soon. I too will be going with wider pegs. I was thinking of modding the frame mounts to use 03/04 KX250 pegs. I have a bunch of those.
