Hey everyone! Long time KX rider from Iowa here! I have a garage full of Kawis, but more specifically, right now I'm building a 1993 KX250.

Thanks! That's the goal for the 93... Although good shape parts seem to be more scarce for it than the KDX!

That's cause motonazis trash mx bikes.
Woods bike generally attract a more mature and mellow rider.... generally...

Thanks, but that seat cover was for an 80. I just ordered the graphics and seat cover from Evo in the UK and will be ordering plastics from UFO (seem to be the only company that makes them still). I also bought a running motor yesterday from fleabay. Ended up costing me $1,400. Ouch.

I like Frank at EVO...he's great to do business with.
