Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
2003 KX 250 SF Conversion

I had the CDI mounted on the side of the frame because it wouldn’t mount behind the number plate without a fork hitting it when I turned. The mounting bracket cracked off, so I needed to find a better way to mount it. It really cleans up the wiring to put it behind the number plate, so I bent up a steel bracket, welded it to the stock mount (that I miraculously kept), lined it with rubber matting, and zip tied it in. I think it will be way more secure and the wiring is a lot cleaner.
One other change I made was to run the wiring forward and up the clutch cable, instead of back and up the frame rail. I think it looks a lot better, and I don’t have to put zip ties on the frame.

A couple more finishing touches tonight before I get some better pictures made on Friday. I added the frame tape I found on eBay, the rear mud guard, and the 2009 KX250F rear caliper. I was able to use the 2003 brake line with the KXF caliper without any trouble. Here are a couple of pictures I took.

I decided to get some pictures made of Goliath. I was able to get a different photographer, but at the same studio. This guy had a lot of great ideas for different angles and lighting. I’ve seen a few preliminary images, and they were really nice even before editing. I took a few pictures of the setup; I’ll post the final results when he sends them over.

I’m really excited about the pictures with this background. They looked great on the viewfinder of the camera.
