From what I understand so far If I send These guys my stock parts they will fab up a stator plate and put together the whole thing to fit my needs. It also seems like they can supply the whole ignition to go with it kinda like a PVL set up. If my leg wasn't busted and I wasn't out of work I would start this process immidiately. Danger If you would like to follow my lead on this I would be happy to do a bunch of the talking phone calling and leg work if you would like to go for it. I don't want to do a bunch phone calling and waisting peoples time with no money to spend. I do have spare flywheel and stator I can mail off to these people to see what can be done. These people are right by stewart if you are interested PM me and maybe we can put a cool post together on Kx500 lighting finally. I think this would be a great deed to humanity and I wouldn't mind helping.

this sounds awesome. however given the fact that they will be fabing parts it sounds like it could be expensive. maybe if a few guys get together and pull the trigger on this idea it could be cheaper than having a company build on a "one only" basis.

I would hate to get to many people on board and have the idea flounder. If I get this guy on the phone maybe I can lead him here and he will see the need and that might be enough to spark his interest enough to see dollar signs.

i see your point but i don't think anyone sees dollar signs when they think of a kx 500 project of any kind, i think they just keep thinking of an outdated old beast. i mean heck, you can hardly find any new aftermarket parts for the k5 anymore. i hope this idea works out. i'm not doubting your idea, i just have my doubts that any manufacturer will be willing to think outside the box for this. they all seem to be on the 4 stroke stuff like stink on crap but are leaving the 2 stroke bikes to collect dust in the manufacturing realm.

Well maybe he has something that will fit are needs that hasn't been flying off the shelf. I think that their might be more sold then one would think. Who knows I'm just stuck with nothing to do but think and this has been on my mind for a long time.

i have no doubts that a few hundred would be purchased if they were available and worked well. there are alot of k5s out there and alot of owners that would love to ride their beasts on night rides. i personally would love to ride the dunes at night when nobody else is around to worry about crashing into. climbing choke cherry at night, OH YAH!
BDI:
This would open the door for other stuff also like better nos set ups,efi,hard wire your GPS, grip warmers dual sport kits and more. And it would just work and keep working very little added weight to the bike. I even have a bitchen idea for the battery.
alward25:
I have presented the idea of a lighting system to Trail tech, Ricky Stator ,Electrex UK and Electrosport. Electrosport was the only one wanting to work out something. Like I have said on other posts, We are still working on it. I know that if we had something that we would sell at least 50 right off without even thinking about it. Stewart and I have talked a lot about this and we want something done very soon. When we know, you all will know.
