And here in 2012 on the KX with perimetral frame of 250 m.y. 1990


A nice hell that track. All counterslope completely flooded and huge potholes. Nothing to do with the tracks in Italy

It's nice that you have two bikes.
One for you to ride and one for us to ride when we hang out at your place  :lol:

On the perimeter frame have managed to adapt a pro circuit. I cut the original welds. then without changing then volume and length. I just changed the guidelines. In fact, the bike was working very well. before I had a modified muffler Honda CR500 but had 10cv less !!

Thanks Fox. It 'embarrassing for me to see this because it seems that I write for selling my pieces. I'm actually an amateur rider but also a manufacturer. This is part of my job. The tanks cost 550 Euros plus shipping.They are complete with cap and tap. The surface finish is slightly polished. Thanks again.

Those tanks are beautiful Boris!  You're price is very reasonable too. If I had a stock KX 500, I would love to have one.  Unfortunately my 500 is a perimeter frame too.

You said you also make frames.  Are they for dirt bikes or street bikes?  Do you have any pictures?

that's about the average price I've been seeing them listed for....
what brand fuel tap are you using?...almost looks like a Pingel.
