Very cool.

I enjoy reading about these monsters and have a MXA issue from 1990 with a KX500 spread in it.

Still have people ask and look at my 500s when I go to the track but so far no one has taken me up on my offer to take it for a few laps.

That's funny, most of my buddies want to ride mine.  I think secretly they are all afraid of it, but no one wants to be seen as a wussie by the rest of the gang.  Peer pressure can be fun.   :-D

My wife, who rides a YZ250 and has been racing since 8 years old rode my 1990 kx500 exactly 1 time.  She said something along the lines of OMG it vibrates like crazy and how can you ride this thing.  Actually when we were dating until she saw the bike she though I was lying about not only having a 500 but them existing period.

It's a good read on modernizing the KX500  :evil:
If you want to get specific on the build you can read a little about the project here:
