My 1990 KX250 Motard Build
LukeG:
Thanks brute, the bike cost $300. I have been keeping an eye out and there was a nice looking 90 went for just over $4000 on eBay last week.
So I spent nearly an hour at a local paint supply shop trying to match the swing arm colour, I found an auto colour that was very close and has a little bit of metallic in it. I think it will look good. I am taking the swing arm to get soda blasted Monday and I will be trying to get the engine parts vapour blasted this week as well. The guy I want to use is a short hour and a half drive away on a good day.
I got most of the engine bearings from a local bearing shop, there were a couple they didn't have, so I placed a large order from Partzilla. I needed new side power valves as they were looking pretty worn. The valves for the 93 are no longer available but they are all but the same through to 02 just the slots are a different size. They are actually smaller on the later valves. The pinion gear is also worn but it is no longer available. I found an alright looking one online, so we will see how that works out.
I have taken heaps of photos for my own reference so I will post a few up when I get onto a PC.

Been a while for updates on here. Progress has been slow but I am getting there.
Got the swing arm soda blasted ready for painting, tried my best to colour match to OEM. Just need to sand and clear coat it.
My new Lectron carby showed up today.
Bought a ton of stuff off fleabay and the likes.
I dummy fitted a 92 crank into the 90 cases and it clears also a 93 and 99 cylinder will bolt onto the cases. I picked up some brand new crank halves, so they along with the 93 cylinder and head have been sent off to Pinsonnault Racing to get Todd and the team to work their magic. 295cc of goodness coming up. I have a 4 piston Brembo supermoto caliper to go on. Forks and shock have been rebuilt and setup for supermoto. I picked up a PSI and FMF Fatty pipe, still not sure which one I am going to use yet, I think I will let the butt dyno figure that one out. No pictures of this stuff at this stage.
I also managed to get my hands on a factory green powerband! :-D

That's what a powerband looks like. I could never find the one on my bike. :-D
