Hi Guys - just wondering if a set of wheels that was on a WR450 would fit a KX500?

thanks
aaron

KX500freak:
what m.y is yer k5 ??
some m.y. have diff.axle clamps
you have systems with one side clamp other side threat

and the axles went from 20 mm to 22 mm or more ?
so its really a matter of check double check before buy :|

aaroncosbey:
this might sound stupid - but i dont have a KX5 yet! I've been looking for ages - havent come across a decent one yet!  :oops:

I'd be lookin to get a '99 + model if i could. What size of axel do the later ones have?

I noticed your signature so i guess ill post a pic - i have one of these:




thanks
 :-)

KX500freak:
aaah nice ride  :-o
98 CR500AF-SM

buddy of mine has the same conversion made
my wet dream is to build a KX500AF-SM :-D
but it will stay a dream ,cus it is a hell of a job
 
and for you finding a decent kx should be possible here on kx.com
 8-)


this bike is a kxf450SM

aaroncosbey:
There was actually a KX5 conversion on ebay last week....

It looked a bit grubby and the guy selling it seemed like an a**hole.

It was a 250 frame conversion:

 

The Guy wanted ?3000 for it - around $6000 dollars!

I'd give him ?2000 - ?2400 for it.


What do you think?   :-P
