Okies getting close.  Waiting on a few small doo-dads to come in (clutch lever, wiring/cable bands, and a new fuel tap). 



Fitted the front # plate.  Loved the yellow against the green & blue even though it was for the open classers.

Just curious what your going to do with her once you finish?

Keep or sell?

I have an 87 KX 250 that I got carried away and replaced practically ever part....not cheap.

I plan to keep mine, but I'm concerned about part availability.

Once I know the bugs are worked out I'll ride for a season then try to sell.  I coulda bought a newish YZ125 for the same amount I wound up sinking into this one. 

I had to to it though.. had to get it out of my system.  My first mx'er was a kx125 (86 model), couldn't find one of those but always coveted the 1989 models so there you go!

I saw some footage of someone riding a 89 kx125 at Budds last week.  May try to get some stiffer fork springs.. even sitting on it in the shop it feels set up like a trail bike, but most of the bikes came that way back then.

Yeah, just curious...Some people restore and ride them...others just fix what needs to fixed and ride.

I myself like the "everything new look" even though it might not need it...but that's just me.
