« on: December 11, 2008, 09:22:54 AM »

Hi , 

 This is my 1st post , im from Northampton here in the UK , im running a much moddified Drz at the moment ive had it from new in 02 and its now on 32000 miles  :-D there is not enough space to list what it had had but its 436 , full yosi , full e-line carbon , powder coated rims , swing arm , subframe and yokes ect ect .

Well u ask whats the heck is he doing here   :? well hold on ive just got me a kx 500 in bits , long story but a friend at work had it complete but stripped it to make it good again think it 88 vintage , well i got it in bits but only with a running 250 motor but he says he has the 500 some were  , anyway ive blasted the frame and subframe and had that powder coated black and it looks like new , really im after a s/h motor , i missed one last night on ebay but that when for 425 in the end  :-o.

The plan is to use my nb2 drz rear shock and forks becouse they are fully  adjustable , black excel rims with Maxxis Goldspeeds tyres my 320 rota and braking 4 pot caliper and CBR 600 master cylinder , will post pics along the way.  :-D 8-)
