Here are some more pics of the build. The bike was in pretty bad shape when I got it. I went through the whole motor and replaced almost everything inside. Enjoy!

The KX5 is a 1992, and the CR5 is a 1993, and they both have the 1993 graphics. They are both a blast to ride. I also have a 1995 Honda Xr 600r that I went through and restored. I call it my tractor. It is the bike I ride a lot, usually to a lake that is about 40 miles away. It handles the gravel roads better for the long sustained high speed riding. I don't want to fry the other too, but they do both get rode.

A couple of f'n sweet 500's right there!!
I know what you mean about the XR600...my best friend's got an '86 he bought off his brother, who was the original owner...tons of torque, and blindingly fast on the old fire roads and power-lines.
