Can I join the club?

Pics, eh. It's 100% disassembled. A certified basket case. Bike in a box. My youngest son calls it Dads imaginary dirt bike. He was 5 when I got it. Once I get started, I'll post some pics.
The current plan is to canabalize the 250 my older son now rides. The suspension on the 250 is set up for him and I'm really digging the KTM so we're going to make 1 bike out of two.
So......... I suppose I ought to be downstairs working on it instead of surfing.

Here's what I have to start with. New bearings all the way around.
Along the way, I picked up a Rev Lock clutch. Fasteners are missing. Anyone familiar with these?

That makes me feel better that I am not the only one that took a 'time out' from the KX5 project to work on other bikes. Thanks! Looking to donate my GL500I and get a tax break as well as getting another project out of here. I was going to make a cafe bike out of it since I have not been able to sell it as is. Been riding it for about three years since I put it together. Better to donate it and be done with it. best of luck on your KX5. Will look foreword to some progress on the 'imaginary dirt bike"! :lol:

Started digging though boxes tonight. Hard to think there's a dirt bike in all of them. Can't find all the KIPS drive parts and what's there is pretty worn. Ebay? New?
