I think pmcg and I are doing a trade. If something happens and we cant deal ill let you know.

Actionman:
Just wanted to show pics of my bike: I bought it a year ago for $200. It was disassembled in three milk crates and had sat under a shed roof overhang for 12 years.

After buying and hoarding parts for a year, this was the day i finished assembly. It took me literally two days and one night of non-stop assembly. Once i started assembly i didnt want to stop:

last week I trimmed the graphics ($25 ebay kit included shroud, fork guard and rear fender/swingarm stickers) because I wanted more plastic to show. It kind of gives it an old school look to my eyes.
Total cost counting the bike was only around $800. Everything in the engine is new, swingarm and link bearings are new, cables, brakes, wheel bearings, plastic and seat cover are new as well. I saved a ton by scouring ebay for deals. The only negative is that the pro circuit pipe has shifted my power to upper mid/top end. Im a slow, slow trail rider and the powerband as it sits is just not suitable at all for my use. Thats why i need a stock pipe :)

WOW! $800, thats great! Well done. I bought my heap of junk for almost that. Was a rather big mistake because it was in a different city and asked my dad to check it out, who doesn't know anything about dirt bikes. I should have walked away, but was too excited. At least I am learning a ton more than I knew before and if anything happens in the future, I can pretty much do it myself. It forces me to learn as much as I can to keep costs down. Only thing that sucks is I don't live in the U.S. to benefit from the good ebay deals. You should post a video of riding your KX sometime if you can. Would love to see it in action.

As for good deals, i got this 1990 rm125 and matching year rm80 for $150 from a friend. It sat in a garage for 20 years. I unfortunately sold both for a big profit.
