Dutch-K5 Fan:
As long I don't have to cut the lower frame tubes, i'm not afraid :lol:
The 88 engine is gone, I'm gonna go to a Kx dealer who hase 4 or 5 K5's.
From 97 to 01, so I buy a complete donor bike and airboot now. Thanks DON!!!!
The 205f frame is "cheap" compared to a 450. Saves about ?2000,- For that
I'll take the extra work. As long I don't have to cut the lower frame tubes, i'm not afraid :lol:

Dutchie,,
Thank you for the PM.
For some reason i can read PMs'
but when i reply, it does not work.
sorry.
(and your english is fine, and much MUCH better than my Dutch ;) )
On that 250F frame,
the
250F engine is not as long as a KX450 or KX500 engine ,
and so the 250F frame is much shorter in the engine cradle area.
since the KX500 engine simply longer than that frame ,,
uyou woul need to cut the front of the tubes away completely and remake that area.
for this reason, i would suggest if building your own bike,
to start with a 450f chassis,
it will also need a lot of frame work..
but it is fundamentally long enough for the engine, so makes things easier?

Dutch...You do have to cut the lower tubes or cradle. Some builders cut them just before they turn inward and then add the amount needed to extend them to the now shorter down tube. The stock lower mount will not work. The front mount will not work. I build completely new cradles to replace the old ones. The end result is a clean factory look. If you need a closer look e-mail me.
