Abbott:
measured the wheel base on the KX tonight...came in at 1391mm with the axle closest in. my 748 is 1410mm...not bad considering the swing arm looked so long on this thing
Abbott:
well it's been a little while since I've posted but I've accomplished a good bit of work since. the rear wheel, final drive and rear brake assembly are all mounted and centered! was so glad to get this part done. all that is really left to do is make some sort of alignment boss to keep the rear caliper mount from spinning around. shouldn't be hard to do though.
I also picked up a set of those Chinese radiators for the '88+ KX500's. I'll give them a shot and see how they do. I read mixed reviews about the alignment and broken welds but I won't be jumping this thing or going off road so I hope the welds do alright. already have the left radiator completely mounted. have to make one more small aluminum bracket tonight for the right side and they will be all set.
Abbott:
here is a side shot with the tank propped up on the frame. I have it "mounted" by the front of the tank where it slides onto a couple rubber bumpers. I have to wait for my tail piece to come in so I can see how much I will need to lower the rear sub frame and get my seat height correct. then I can weld in some flat stock across the sub frame and make a mount for the rear of the tank.
sandblaster:
