KXDINO:
Just checking out this nice looking KX 443
Just like to know more about this machine, as I recall this machine was never a production machine. It either a works bike or a KX 250 A5 79 Model with a 443cc motor slipped in.
As I recall they did have a 443 works bikes, but I only remember them with a uni - trar suspension.
Kawasaki never made a production big bore in 78/79. KX 420 appeared n 1980/81 then dissappeared until 1983 KX 500 A1 air-cooled.
any information on it's history would be great.
I nearly have all KX pamplets from 74 to 2007!!! now kawasaki australia doesn't print them anymore.
Might have to get them from the States, can any one help??????

It is a 1979 KX250 A5 rolling chassis with a KX420 engine JUST slipped in. The crank is a genuine Kawasaki 443
replacement. I rode it last weekend, nothing fell off bar me. Like riding an auto, very smooth. :-D

Another pic, I've now fitted new side plates from Nightmare Racing . Excellent quality.

way too awesome! I love the classic 2t bikes!
Kinda makes me wish I did not give away that 79 Honda 250 I had.
The Flyin Hawaiian:
Your bike looks great! I have a 75 KX250 and a 80 PE400 Suzuki projects that I hope to get to this winter. Those Nightmare sidepanels look nice!
