I have a 1999 and a 2001. Both are identical except graphics.
Will these work?
I'll send you a picture after this weekend.

Barry, I would like to see if I can get the KDX odometer setup to work on the KX500.. maybe you can help me with some pics. I am mainly wondering how the KDX front wheel hub drives the speedo unit ?

my kit is dc with a battery, the lights dont go out just dim. just curious how that stator will work, it looks like it wouldnt power much. im constantly looking for options just in case my now-obsolete e-line stator craps out.
i do like that headlight a lot, im still trying to find a good looking replacment for mine.

Polar,
For a spedo, I use Trail Tech Vapor
http://trailtech.net/vapor.html
It uses a magnetic bolt that replaces a bolt that hold the brake rotor, and a sesor mounted to the caliper senses the magnet passes as the wheel rotates.
Whats nice about the Vapor is its also a Tach, (numeric RPM and a bar graph), Ambient and engine temp gauge, odometer, backlight, battery backed up, and about a million other things that are listed on that link.

Polar,
Using a mechincal speedo is a hassle. I would also suggest the trailtech vapur or a bicycle speedo like I use. The install is simple. I recently took the mech speedo off my sons KTM and replaced it with a bicycle speedo. Cam.

Cool project, good job so far!!
I started putting together some parts for the same kind of project. I dont know if its something that I'll get done in 2 months... or 2 years.... but I saw the opportunity and went for it
I found a 1989 KDX200 frame on Ebay that came off a bike that was already street licensed / ridden in Iowa... !!
I'm in Missouri, and I hear it can be a bit troublesome to get a 2 stroke street legal, but... if you take a bike thats already been street licensed / titled, its no big deal. The DMV doesn't even notice at that point.
That, and I have a friend at a shop here that will inspect / sign off on anything I bring him, so inspection is no problem.
I've got a 1997 KX500, with a fair number of mods (pipe, ported cylinder, balanced crank, new piston, etc etc), I'm going to put that engine in that KDX frame, and as many of the other KX parts that will fit
Btw, that KDX frame was only $180 shipped .... how could I pass up on that deal ???!
Anyways. Good luck on your project, I'll let you guys know when I start on mine too :)
