If you were to get the whole bike the 03 would be fine, but if your going to try to get the parts don't use the 03 as there aren't as many, primarily swingarm and linkage are the biggest difference. I've pieced them togather from parts off Ebay and rarely do find 03 parts. I had an 03, it was a great bike, just all alone in design.

Can anyone provide more info on a 500 motor in an '04 - '07 250 frame? This is a conversion I would love to tackle and I just want to see if there are any more "little obstacles" to overcome in doing this swap. I've tried the 250/500 search a couple of times and can't seem to find anything about these year chassis'. I like the fact of the newest 250 frames having the head stay in the rear. Any photos, links, or other info would be greatly appreicated. Thanks!!

Well, I've made the first step toward doing my own conversion. I picked up a complete, great running 1993 K5 locally here in SoCal. This is definitely gonna be a slow process for me, just for the fact that I have waaaayyyyy to many projects to finish first. I just couldn't pass up the price on this one. Plus I have my '04 500 and '01 250 to hold me over until I join the best of both into one bike. I just couldn't bring myself to rob the heart outta my '04. (Being a last year K5 that I bought new in August of '04, I would of felt like I was killing that beast.) :evil: :-D
The '93 has some cool extras too. Talon rear hub, Pro-tapers', FMF pipe and silencer and whoever had the suspension redone had the Blue fork tubes stripped and re-anodized black. They look great! Like a factory applied coating!
Again, I'm looking for any extra info regarding a 500 motor in a '04 250 chassis. So, if anyone can provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!!
Nick
