--- Quote from: scarykxer on May 30, 2006, 05:59:27 AM ---a big hi to everyone,im new to the forum..my name is Si, and i live in essex in the UK..i bought a 1995 kx500 nine months ago completely stripped,since then i have completely re built the beast,with a few mods,frame and swinging arm are powder coated black,full supermoto kit ie..black talon hubs,black exel rims,braking 320mm front disc,talon wavey rear disc,fmf gnarley pipe,fmf 2002 grahics kit with seat cover,graphite renthal fat bars etc etc,but the real tool is the engine with a cr500 conrod to alter the stroke,+40 wiseco piston kit,barrel work done by a top uk 2 strke king,crank lightened and balanced,she is now fully road legal...soon i will find a pair of radiators and i will be blasting around the countryside :evil: :evil: :evil:

CR conrod you say?

Sounds familliar, it's not Zanxs old bike is it?

Mebbe not as I thought his was a 93 or thereabouts.
Anyway, welcome in.

Regards Scott.

hi scott,yes i was the fool who bought the huge jigsaw that zanx called a kx500(he promised every part was there as i loaded a frame and 8 huge boxes of bits into my van,and he did,nt let me down).i tracked down the engineer who worked out the pro,s of a cr500 rod,matched to a +40 piston.the guy wrote down the final formula i guess you would call it,and i have also spoken to another guy who still races a kx580 for a bit of cheap fun,he says its best trick is leaving honda cr500,s in his dust,followed by the cr riders scratching their heads whilst looking over his bike trying to work out how he can be so quick,i nearly gave up on this project 2 months ago but zanx talked me out of it ,and im so glad he did,cos now its in supermoto form,i think its the sexiest thing going (too many late nights working on her has left its mark)

Scarykxer, I have the Pro Moto Billet kick stand. Real world pictures (on a K5) in my photo album, Danger4u2.

scarykxer:
thanks danger,another problem solved,my only concern is the length of the stand as my bike is in supermoto form,maybe a little cutting and welding will work.....
