Just wanted to say what a great source of info that this site provides. Just wanted to tell you all a little bit about my project.I have a 89 500 that is being built into a street legal motard retard (i call it retard because it is one step beyond a motard) First thing that I did was purchase a complete 2003 Suziki gsxr 1100 front end minus fairings of course,and adapted this to the kx(the gsxr is a state of the art front end)then  I tossed the original shock and put on the gsxr four way ajustable rear shock which lowered the back to match the front.Next dumped the whole air box unit,and installed K&N cone filter(for that dirt tracker look.Then I mounted a enduro style fairing from eline with their lighting kit.Next I put on the 93 kx 250 rear fender,and below that instaled a carbon fiber tire hugger fender then mounted a nice big fat soft rear tire. Almost forgot still useing the gsxr clip ons for handle bars. currently talking to B&B about their 600 plus cc big bore. this thing is going to be a blast and a real corner burner.If anyone culd tell me the top speed that a big bore kx with the right gearing is capable of would be great. I fitted everthing up and then tore every thing down again and sent the motor out, and then the frame and swing arm for powder coating.Cant wait to ride this thing :lol: . You guys probally think im a raging lunitic.

there's a road racer out here that goes 120 mph.. the crotch rockets catch him in the corners ,but the k-5 leaves them on the straights. It's stock with a pipe,reeds and jetting. It's a small tight road course.
