Thanks Tkeen511! so far i love it. I will get some video of it soon as i finally heard word on the graphics kit and should have it in my hands in a day or so and then i will shoot a little video for the sponsors to have in there hands! Brooksie my rear brake lever; i ended up just using some spacers, its a little ghetto considering the fabrication and money that went into this build but the only other option would to be relocating the mount for the brake lever which im not sure of doing. also my front wheel hits the exhaust pipe "just barely but it does when bottoming" and i discovered at mid to top revving the bike has a miss and im not sure if it is electrical or carb... those are the wrinkles i am working on for this week

Lund,
Have you ridden a CR500? I am building a CRF250-K5 AF and would like to know if the difference in motors is worth the effort? I will complete the bike but it would be nice to know I have something to look forward to. I have built a few Cr 500 AF bikes and love riding them.Thanks

cmotodad: If you Check out Motocross action magazine for the month of May you will see FmF built a 2013 ktm 500 conversion. they did heavy testing on deciding which motor to use, they ended up using a kx500 engine because the power was more usable then Cr500 engine. check it out! http://motocrossactionmag.com/
cmotodad:
Thanks, I will check it out. Bob

All right KXriders! she's 99.0% complete, just need the SH exhaust pipe. took her out yesterday for her 2nd round of testing and it performed awesome! im having problems with knocking and detonation so i am moving it to 1/2 race gas which should fix the problem..
But here is some final photo shoot pictures that was sent out to our sponsors! keep your eyes open for this bike as it will be racing the Pro vet nationals at glen Helen as well as the Monster Energy Mammoth Nationals! thanks so much to everyone on KXriders for your help and support, truely could have not done it without you guys!
