Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
my build so far
DSPMOTO:
here are some more pics of my build. although im not done with all the final touches the bike is 100% rideable, i have been riding it since march. everything works great, couldnt ask for a better bike. way better than the steel frame. for the pipe i used the rad bushings to make my own perfect fitting rubber mounting hangers, i always ended up doing the same thing for the silencer. also as you can see i made a new reed block mount out of aluminum , i had to change the angle of it 2 degrees and also make it a hair longer than stock so i could use the stock 250f air boot without and rubbing on the shock or frame. did not change the way the bike runs one bit. maybe this weekend i can get a video of me riding it and post it for you all to see how awesome it is. also still have all the pic from the whole build i would like to post and hopefully by then i will have her looking like new and have some graphics on her. hope you all like

Do you have any more pics of the 78 ??
DSPMOTO:
i do. sorry the pics arent that good, there isnt much room to work with on are 2nd story and i took them with my phone but here are a few more. picked the bike up about 12 years ago, everything but the plastics and the paint on the pipe&bars are orignal . it doesnt run right now, needs a throttle cable and a new stator. parts unlimited sells one just havent bought one yet.

Thanx for the pictures.
DSPMOTO:
here are some more pictures of my build. i have had it together and have been riding it for a year. just a few weeks ago i tore the whole motor apart and cleaned a few other things. glass beaded the cases. new wheels etc.. i have rode it a few times after rebuilding. only problem i have ran across is as you can see on the motor mount pic that i put steel washers between the frame and cases. the cases were rubbing funny in the frame so i had to shim it. also a few more pics of my airboot. if you look closely in those photos and you can see the i have no rubbing on the inside of the boot from the shock.when i talk to the guy who help weld my frame i will get those pics posted as well. hope you enjoy my build
