My 1999 KX250 Build

<< < (12/17) > >>

Foxx4Beaver:
Awesome!...happy that's all squared away!

I can say, I absolutely love everything about my '00...and I was even considering sellin it after putting about $3800 into it....but it's one of the most reliable bikes I've ever owned....it doesn't matter if it's sat for a week, or 4 months...turn the fuel on, lift the choke, and one kick it's runnin, every time.

here's the thread..some of the pics are missing, due to the site crashing 4 years or so ago..

I'm sure i'm missing a couple things...

Only have to get the graphics now but that'll be around 50 bucks (friend is doing them for cost)

Foxx4Beaver:
Pretty close to what I spent.
What "look" are you going for with the graphics?
I was lucky to find original OEM '00 graphics online...but, I'm saving those for whenever I do decide to sell it, it'll have the correct look.
It's got OEM '01 graphics on there now..another sweet Ebay find.

mjowen:
I'm actually giving my friend creative freedom for the graphics...she does the moto-x graphics for one of the race shops up north and also runs her own business from home so i sent some photos to her and will just kinda let her do whatever. It'll be a surprise haha.

i remember looking at your build thread back when i started mine - was a great build!

Foxx4Beaver:
Ahhhh, nothin wrong with surprises!...it'll be interesting to see what she comes up with!...the fact that she's already got the experience in mx graphics is a huge plus.

Thanks, it was a  lot of fun restoring it...I'm ready to do a 125 '99-'02 next. I want all three "classes".
