KX500 Frame

NastyNick:
hey all!

I am kind of new here, but I have a question that I hope someone can answer.

I have a 93 KX500 that has some frame problems (dented, broken bottom motor mount, broken tab for the swingarm) and I have my eye on a frame from a 1989 500.  The parts catalog has slightly different part numbers for the frame (1993: 32160-1095, 1989: 32160-1026).  I am wondering if the 89 would fit the 93 without any alignment problems.

any help would be appricated.

Thanks!

kawdude:
I bet they will if the 89 uses the same type of swingarm linkage.

Nasty,

You might consider having your original frame rewelded and gusseted, like Team Green does for their race bikes. I'll be putting my motor in this weekend and I keep telling myself that I need to take and post the frame pic's. If I do, I'll post here for your reference.

NastyNick:
Thanks for the input guys.  I appricate it.  I think I will get the 89 frame (because it's cheap) and then get the original welded up when I get the chance.

next project:  raidators.  mine are kind of "dented" :)
