Nice bike. I have always wanted to comvert a 99-02 kx250 to a 500, what All roughly did you modify for it to fit?
Frame wise mostly.
Thanks

I'm looking at getting AJ's fmf kx pipe but is really made for a af...what pipe you running? The one I have does not have the mount on the bottom left side of pipe..

I used a CR 500 pipe that I welded the kx neck to.  You have to do a little "adjustments" with your hammer, but it fits pretty nicely. If you want an existing pipe, the Service Honda pipe has been used on a couple of guys projects. The pipe on Toby's bike looks like an FMF pipe made for the K5 that allowed you to use a special larger tank.  Notice how it goes over the shock reservoir like on a 500. Motorrad has one on his bike.

umberto:
Sorry, I didn't see that he had switched bikes on that last photo. The pipe on his conversion looks to be a custom built pipe as well.

Desto:
I bought the pipe off Pat who's selling the pipes on ebay..he got most parts, when SERVICE HONDA CLOSED!!  The pipe fits great and I made a mount the bolts on the front engine mount bolt. Id post a pic but Photobucket is jacked up and I can't upload. Went to the desert this TG weekend to open her up and do some jetting..running great fmf says 175 main. .ripping with 165/52 2nd notchfrom top on needle..was thinking of dropping clip one more..but the track I ride are at lower elevation. .
