You want me to call MXA for you? They'll probably just hang up on me, but I'll totally do it... :-D

No, I'm good lol...
I still have some engine mods to test first so this is giving me the time I need.
One of the mods we know does not work (KX500 turbo crank)... But I am still working on that one.
I think I know what's wrong but it will take some effort to fix it.
Time will tell on that one.
It sure works good on the 250..

This thing has over rev for days..
Not bad for a worn out top end on a otherwise stock bike...
Another mod is the Guru valves.
Mechanically they are ready to try... I need to get a cylinder bored and a head made to try them...
I finished the porting so I'm sending it off along with the crank to get some work done..

I was able to get my headstay painted and mounted today. It is definitely stout; I stood on it with my 215 pounds, and it didn't flex a bit. When I have it tightened up, I can remove the bolt that goes through the cylinder head without threading it out, so it has a bit of tension on it which is what I wanted. All in all, I'm pleased with it.
I checked the capacity of the stock tank, and it checks in at 1.875 gallons without the fuel pump in the tank, which is pretty slim. Once I get the radiators mounted, I am going to check in to the IMS tank. I don't feel like pushing if I don't have to. My cousin that I ride with had to push his KTM once, and I gave him way too much crap to have to push my bike. :-D
I got a petcock mounting bracket done, but it didn't work out like I wanted so I'll be on to version 2.0. Let's just hope I don't have to go all the way to 4.0 like the head stay. Once that is done, I just need to do the new coil mount, make new radiator mounts and shroud mounts, get two little brackets welded on the frame, and I should be able to ride this dude.

Sweet... Keep it up...

Thank you sir. I came to the realization yesterday that I should have it done about the time it gets surface of the sun hot in Oklahoma. :-D
