I love this thread JBernard! It's one of the main things I always check when I come to the site. I don't mind that you don't update the build daily, because when you do update it's always something really trick. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see the finished product!

Hey all.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Super tied up with work, but have gotten a few things done on the KX and a few parts bought. Making some more progress this week as well.
Inconel 718 Cylinder studs and 2 sized head studs done finally.
HPSD Mount made, still need to hardcoat anodize this piece black.
Linkage all together. All Ti and Mg!
D-Bolts for Applied trees out of Ti
Still working on the brake fitment adapter for the Brembo Calipers! Getting closer
TM Designworks came thru with some help on a super nice Endurance slider and roller kit for my bike.
They are super cool people and have some nice products with awesome fitment!

Lightspeed carbon fiber chain block and Cycra new plastic guide.
Got a nice new set of plastics on the bike, went with the acerbis flo-green kit off a '15 450. everything fits right up except for top bolt mount on shrouds, and the thru holes on front fender are a bit to large, the bolt pattern is fine, just have to make some collars for the M6 bolts.
Thought about getting a PWK online and slapping it on this bike and then having to mess with dialing jetting in for who knows how long. Thought I'd continue supporting awesome companies that care about its buyers instead.
I've been in contact with Kevin at Lectron Fuel Systems about putting a Lectron on this bike. We settled on a 40mm Power Jet being the best option for me.
Check this thing out. Billet bowl, 40mm.
Ended up going with a PowerDynamo stator and flywheel + a reg. Didn't want to struggle with power lacking while running onboard data acquisition and the electric water pump and KIPS servo motor.
Super nice craftsmanship on this part, very impressed. I also went with the lightweight flywheel version. Will have to see if it makes the bike to much of a rocketship.
Finally nailed down an electric water pump that should work for my application.
LOTS of searching produced this. Looks like it will hit required #'s with ease, and is made by Bosch so hopefully no failures. Also its about as light as can be for the size. 12V also, so will play nice with power system.
Stay tuned for some more updates! Hopefully will have the hydraulic clutch mod done to the case tomorrow, latest this week if something comes up. Then engine off to TMR.
Thanks for checking this thread out, crazy its over 22K views. That's a lot!

Wow, what a build! I am in awe and a lot jealous. :-D That stator is amazing. Thanks for showing it as it is what I have been looking for to work with my build.
