Its this shop out in Placentia, CA. I'll give more info once I get the bike back and get to look it over. I'd hate to send you out their way, only to get my bike back and not be happy.
KXDINO:
On my 250/500 Hybird I used a complete FMF system for a 450/500 from service honda.
Had to cut rear mount off expension chamber , made a bracket and rubber mount off kx250 08. muffler needed both
mounts repositioned and a small angle change , to get it up higher .
A small cut and reweld just before the muffler section.
I used the 250 radiators on mine, but had it modified to a 500 system.
I had to blocked the lower holes, and angle the tanks for clearence then add a hole and pipe on left radiator
i went that way to keep it orignal looking .
the top holes between the radiator i enlarged to 500 size.
the 250 radiators have extra cores

That looks good. I just answered your question about the KX/KDX hybrid in the 125 forum in terms of what steps were involved. Look them over and see how it compared to the 500 hybrid. I would like to know how hoard it is compared to the KDX/KX build. Evidently the pipe is an issue on the 500. On mine the KDX pipe fit perfectly (with new hangers) and mated up perfectly to a KX250 silencer.
KXer:
Any word on that pipe yet Scott? The Service Honda one fit alot better than I thought it was going to, might consider that still?
gwcrim:
Yeah.... tell us about the pipe. I need one just like yours.
