DO U GUYS KNOW WHERE U COULD GET A VIDEO/DVD OF THAT 99 ELSINORE GP--THAT WOULD BE GR8 TO HAVE

THERE WAS A GUY  IN OZ RACING A KX250  WITH 500 MILL WITH GR8  RESULTS:

THE 99 WORLD 500 MX CHAMPS  HAS  UK'S RON HERRING ON A VERY CUSTOM  CR250 WITH CR500 ENGINE  NICE:  A FEW KX500'S  IN THE PACK ALSO

IN NZ WE HAD THE HILL CLIMB EVENT  [PIKES PEAK] WHICH ROD MILLEN FROM THE USA ATTENDED IN HIS CHEVY TRUCK  ONE OF OUR LOCAL RIDERS ON A 04 KX500  WASNT FAR BEHIND HIM...HE WAS MOOVIN!!

DestryAbbott:
It's cool to see those photos. Dave built that bike for me as a project bike. It was a lot of fun to ride but they didn't really want me racing it. The bike is down in Mexico, hopefully having fun on the trails (it wasn't stolen). I sold it a couple of years ago. Now looking back, I think I should've kept it. There was a lot of work put into it, with some trick parts.

Best Wishes,
Destry

DestryAbbot,

The tricks you say were? :?
I see the same as everyone the kx250 setup. 8)  
But what about the pipe?
Is it a rerouted "standard" PC-pipe or a works "only one" pipe? :twisted:
I run a PC-pipe on my (70hp) iceracer and I think that pipe need a "ported cylinder" to do it`s best
and with high exhaust duration. :wink:
What about the powerband for that bike with that pipe?

By the way,you have a very nice website too. :D
 
Do anyone use gasoline tank from kx250 of 1989?
It`s make a "he.." of different for the pressure on the frontwheel in turns.
That together with a high seat. :shock:
I will post some pic`s later with my setup. :wink:

mikesmith:
I can tell you the pipe was made for the bike (Dave Chase works at PC) it runs under the shock reservoir because it has a 250 sub-frame,air box, side panels.
