KXF /KX250

<< < (4/8) > >>

Reddy:
Clearance for the left hand drop.



I got excited and had to put the tank andplastics back on.

Reddy:
So the plan for the next week is to get some ali plate and tube to make the engine brackets, exhaust brackets and connect the Y piece down to frame.

Once they are made it can be sent off to be welded!

Does anyone have any ideas on what radiator I can use on the left hand side?  Or is it possible to get one shortened?

AJ:
reddy,
i only have some old ,*starting the project* shots..
i need to get some of a completed KX250AF up.
I use a 09 KX250 yoke,,,
(similar to what you're using though)
here is the first mock up of the frame..

the radiators - yeah way tougher than the frame..
i ended up modding the lower tanks to clear the raised Y area..
tossed the left rad altogether, and used a right rad on the left side,,
flipped it over, then modified the  tanks..(getting rid of the rad cap spigot) and added new hose barbs accordingly


there's a million different ways to skin a cat though..
you'll get it.

Did you just removed the old the 2 holes??
Or have you weldid a small strip in/on???
I thought it would be hollow.Maybe it could work for me also!!

Good works man.

Reddy:
Just cut through it with a hacksaw straight through the 2 holes, and then filed and polished the surface, about 20 mins work all in all. Looks good, and gave me the extra bit of room I needed to clear the engine.

Only had an hour on it today, made the 2 bottom engine mounts.

Need to get the ali tube now, think i'm going for inch square with 2mm wall thickness.
