Title: Had to show it off.
Post by: wreck-n-roll rik on April 05, 2009, 03:13:08 PM

Well here it is my 1994 KX500.  I spent most the winter redoing and redoing it.  Yep redoing, redoing.  I did a fair number of things to it last summer to just get by after getting it in August.  So this winter installed a new Wisco Piston/rings, EBC Clutch w/ 10% stronger springs and steel plates, Rebuilt the front forks (great site and thanks for all the help), had the rear shock rebuilt (I know I could have done that as well, read the ?how to?), Tore the swing arm off and cleaned and greased thoroughly (everything was tight so no new parts), FX gripper seat cover (fist time so It?ll get better but still turned out nice), Installed the larger tank, Brush Guards, New Rear fender, Pro Tapper Bars, brakes and a  14/49 sprocket set-up.  I am going down to Dennis Kirk tomorrow to get a new rear tire and plastic.  But here is how she looks now and not wait to take for a ride.

I have some new plastic ordered and tire, after that I'll getsome graphics.  I'm planning on running it in a Couple of Enduro Races this summer so machanics need to be right first.
