Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
2000 kx250/k5 conversion
kranker1450:
Just a little update. I have been gathering part for the conversion. I have not been able to work on the conversion due to the winter and the cold. My shop does not have heat in it so I haven't been able to work on it. I have not given up on it. Just need some warm weather.

that's what dining room tables are for!....I've assembled a few motors on my coffee table while watching tv.

LOL. fortunately the motor is together. I need to do the welding and fabricating of the mounts and the exhaust. My welder is a little heavy to be taken into the house. lol
I have been spending the downtime collecting parts for it. I have almost everything I need/want. I have bought some things from fellow members one of which was Sandblaster and would just like to say he is a great guy and would highly recommend purchasing parts from him.
The plan is to get everything made and fitted and then assemble it. Ride it for a few weeks a month and the tear it down and powder coat everything after no more welding and grinding is needed. assemble with mostly stock stuff and save the goodies for after the frame gets powdercoated.
Thanks Tom

I just noticed how neat and organized your work area is.
That stinks :-P

X2!!! Way too clean and roomy! Looks like you are moving along nicely.
On the cleaning stuff: I hit an auto parts store and bought two cans of spray on cleaner to try. One ZEP product and don't remember (Gunk?) what the other was. Both sprayed on with a hand operated squirter and after a few minutes hosed off with water. The grease, oil and crud just melted off using either one though they had different ingredients. Pretty amazing. Keep the pics coming of the project! Looks good!
