Brute:
Was just reading around and found the 'sort of' answer. More of 'a picture sez a thousand words' type thing.
I have been to El Mirage during runs and when there was not a single soul out. Fun stuff. Took my rental car out and topped it out! Got boring as it had a rev (speed) limiter on it.
Ordered MORE stuff for my KX5 today. Need to dig it out and get it on the lift so I am ready for the parts when they get here.

Post pics when you can

Will do. Ordered new sprockets and chain today. Went with 15/43 as they were out of the 42's. Should take the dimensions up to Hinshaws Honda as they have a box of miscellaneous sprockets on the floor for $5 each. I have resisted making an offer on all of them. Do not need more crap laying around and do not need any sprockets other than for the KX5.
Got a bunch for free years ago at another Honda dealer as they had just purged and tossed them into the metal bin. They let me dig around in them and I ended up with four gear changes for the bike I was building for a friend. Now that I think about it, I should take them up and see if I can match them up. They are cheap!
sandblaster:
Yep, I have piles of sprockets... Most I have no idea what they came off of.
But it gives customers something to dig through :lol:
5 bucks each? That's highway robbery... 8-)

Was going to hit the shop, get the KX5 on the lift, spread all the nice parts (minus the wheels and tires which I have not received yet) around it and take a pic before getting started on it.
Got side tracked when a younger girlfriend :-P of my wife's called and wanted me to teach her how to weld and do a project. Priorities, you know! :roll: 'Twas fun! Project took all day though. She is quite sharp and did all of the cutting and welding. Got to love the bottled wire feed and plasma cutter! She decided rather then buy her own stuff she would just come over and use my shop and equipment.
Hey! Maybe she will bring some of her other young lady friends over and 'sweat to the welding' next time! I could do a calendar with the KX5 as a backdrop! :evil:
