KX500 w/ late model kx250 subframe

sintax:

I'm wondering if anyone has played with fitting a late model kx250 rear subframe to hang newer style plastics on.

BDI:
I can tell you It's going to be more work than it sounds like. the first big problem that comes to mind is the exhaust. I would just do the 250  rear fender mod and call It a day.

hmm if its just the mounting thats an easy fix, if it needs to be rerouted there will need to be some fab work done. I was planning a tear down, clean up and rebuild of my 99 this summer anyway. Maybe i'll pick up a subframe and play around.

BDI:
I considered what you are talking about doing at one time. I even got a 250 subframe to try and mock it up, after I was done scratching my head and waying my options this is how I decided to put the 250 subframe on my 500. The rerouting of the pipe is the hardest part of putting the 500 engine in a 250 If you have the gusto to do that you might as well go all the way.
   
 P.S. I'm not saying It can't be done. I will put a V-8 in a moped if someone says It can't be done. I just don't think It ways out on the cool versus effort scale.
