KX250 Chassis With 500 Motor

<< < (13/17) > >>

BDI:
The more you know :-) Thank's Don.

AJ:
grim..
i have pipes from FMF for the KX500AF conversion,(KXF450 based ),
 but they would likekly work well in a kx250 to 500 conversion as well..?

but to be honest FMF simply took the low boy CR500 stamps, redid  them slightly,
and yes they are dented to clear that water fitting,,
and not quite enough, =/

so i make a water fitting to change the hose angle slightly.. so all then clears well.
(on the production KX500AFs i am going to both use that water fitting, and mill the cylinder where the fitting  bolts to,  as there is plenty of material there to take down and help with clearence in a critical area..

with that said-
let me know if yioy want to give this pipe a try. 

BDI:
I have pipes to they are the zip-ty low boy pipe and they fit perfectly and they were made for the kx500 I have been waiting on mufflers but totaly got screwed on that after waiting for monthes. I had posted that the dies to make these had been destroyed but that turned out to be false. I coud have more stamped but Its a large envestment and after all the crap I have gone threw tryng to have mufflers made I do not know If I want to deal with It

AJ:
saw your bike BDI,, nice work man.

and yeah i thought you had styated the dies were destryoed ..
as i anted to get one of those pipes as well to try out ..



i do have silencers,both regular and Q,
 but they are made to fit with that KX 500AF pipe -
so its desgned towars the  450 subrframe-
but,
 hey they might fit up with your pipe as well..?

i would imagine guys doing variuos conversions could work out the brackets,, ??

ive certainly cut them off often enough in the past for proto type bikes  and relocated them?

just a thought for those adventurous enought to be doing the KX250 conv,
 or whatever other conv..

BDI:
Thanks AJ your bikes are not half bad either. you see my problem Is this I need a muffler to build the pipes to so the whole project has been put on hold. I was supposed to be getting a brand new 06 kx450 with no motor but that deal  got screwed up too I have had a string of bad luck on my new bike project the bike was supposed to be built by now and I have not got one pipe made. :|
