dave hamm 76:
i have brought a 1987 kx500 n its a basket case, i am sending the engine off for a total rebuild top n bottom, do i keep the steel frame n refurbish it or go down the ally frame road ? if i go down the ally road then which year n model would be suited for my 87 engine ?
     if i keep the steel frame then i will need the rear bolt on section of the frame coz mine as been hacked at and the top of the rear shock frame as been welded :( many thanks

Hello and welcome to the site.
What kind of riding will you be doing?
Are you having your engine built back to stock or are you modifying it?

here is a pic that will answer your question... my 87 kx250 with the 41mm usd-fork .  you could also use the blue 43mm fork.
the steering-bearings are the same from 1983- 1991
