My Hybrid Build

<< < (2/2)

zz3gmc:
First one Ive seen using the 250 frame. Looks good! The 03 and 04 came with gold forks from the factory.

Thank you zz3gmc.  I stared at those forks (and shock) for so long trying to talk myself out of them being the A kit stuff.  I thought they were later model KXF forks.  I eventually called Pro Circuit and verified it with them.  I didn't even notice them when I first saw the bike.  The guy who was selling the bike took me to a local riding area, because he wanted me to ride the bike before I bought it.  He loved the bike so much, he wanted it to have a good home.  When the guy told me they were A Kit on the way back from the riding area, I nearly passed out.  I couldn't get the bike on the trailer fast enough.  In fact I ended up leaving my helmet at his place.  He was such a great guy he went and mailed it back to me.

Funny story, I actually contacted the guy two years earlier when he had the bike for sale with the KX engine in it.  I wanted to trade him a 2002 KX 250 (a little bit nicer bike) for it.  He told me he was going to make a hybrid, which ended up being the bike I bought.  I almost missed out on the hybrid the second time too.  The guy in front of me couldn't drive there until the weekend, and I could go that day.  Sometimes you do luck out.   :-D

zz3gmc:
A-Kit! Nice!

one tip I found out on my 2004/125 build is to buy the same frame year air boot from the KX250 bike. The KX125 is a case reed motor and the boot sits a little to low for the KDX intake.
