Title: Hello from Australia.
Post by: stuart70_au on August 29, 2013, 01:51:57 AM

Hey guys,

I've been lurking here on and off for a few years just mainly reading the KX500 steel frame conversions board.

My regular ride is a 2006 KX250 2T, my resto project is a 1984 KX250, and the new addition to the collection is an immaculate 1990 KX500. My veins have flowed green since I was a child riding a 1982 KX80 and a 1984 KX80. I have previously owned in the 90's a 1991 KX500 and a 1994 KX125. In the near future I'd love to buy another 06-08 KX250 and put my KX500 motor in it.

This is my 84 as I bought it. It's currently in a zillion bits getting a full restoration.
