Mick:
*APPLAUSE* Bravo my man!
That was written so well I think I can even do it. Only if I had the time........and the 450 :|
But if somebody wanted to start say a...............Service Kawasaki!!! Then I'd be in business!!

Hey all,
Just thought that I would freshen this topic up a little. By that I mean it's been a while since anyone has posted and Hangtime did such a good job covering all the "head scratching" question that pop up way before the first time builder even has a carcass to cut on.
It looks like there are already a few choices that have been made in air boot selection. Here is what I did. 2000 CR250 boot with an adapter fabed from .125 thick aluminum to connect it to the stock 450 air box. I removed the screen from the 450 air cleaner holder, as there isn't much of a backfire from a 2 stoke. This combination allows me to use the 450 air filter. With this combo the carb fits EXACTLY as it does in the stock KX500!
Here are a few pics....The Adapter Plate is made out of .125 6061 aluminum. Benny (Bempa) asked me to share it with him, so here it is for all to see.

I thought this might be interesting for other guys new to building aan aluminum frame KX500.... I can't wait! :-D

Nice. This is the quality and ultimately the goal I will be trying to achieve on my build. I noticed some of the pics are no longer viewable. Is there a chance you could repost or email them to me?
I have a 99 KX500 donor and a 06 KXF250 donor I will be attempting to morph together.
Dutch-K5 Fan:
Maybe this like could help a bit.
