I'm going to post a picture of my piston late tonight or tomorrow.
As for my motor mounts, I am installing rubber spacers in an attempt to minimize some vibration!

dont do this. you want the engine as rigid in their as possible. bad things happen when the engine and the frame try and flex at different rates. as in it will rip right out.

I wiped it off but I didn't clean it!
As for the motor mounts, thanks for the input JBernard! Dodged a bullet there! I'm going to face them off so that they are completely flat and fill the remaining gap with steel washers so that it is as tight as possible! What do you think?
crooscroos:
I am in the process of reworking my radiator hose routing so that it mocks the stock kx500. What do you guys suggest for the left side radiator? are there any left radiators out there that won't require any welding?
Charlie500:
I really really like these 500 AF bikes. I have plans on turning my 2014 450 into one at some point... One of the concerns i have is how the kick starter sticks out once everything is finished. It almost looks like it could catch on your pants while riding... looks a little funny to me... What do you guys think?
crooscroos:
I was concerned about the kick starter at first but when I ride I don't even notice it! I was going to indent the exhaust for it but after riding with it I have no desire to!
