Ultimate Rocky Mtn Ride!

(1/1)

mikesmith:
The November Dirt Bike Magazine has a article on riding the Colorado Rockies with a little part labled "Ultimate Rocky Mountain Ride."It's a KX500!The guy who owns the bike is  a guide for the area on a dual sported KX 500,runs a IMS tank,Revlock, gnarly pipe,2 calipers on the rear disk(for when the rear brake fades or when you cant reach the brake pedal?).The stock foot pedal and a second caliper hooked up to a hand brake above the clutch lever.He also has the 2 piece clutch cover like Destry ran,but I dont see a skid plate or case guards?Take a look when you see the new Dirt Bike.

kawdude:
Wow,  I was going to ask about that side cover.  Where would one pick this up?

mikesmith:
I'm not sure who fabricated it,they show it in one of the pictures.Maybe you could drop Dirt Bike a letter asking about it.

I went on Destries site and asked him where he got the 250 style two piece cover for hus 500 and he replied that it is a works part :(  so to get one you have to ride like him :(

Anyway how about getting a 250 clutch cover and getting a GOOD machine shop to machine the side off a spare 500 cover then weld on lugs for the bolts to fit into..

Err perhaps :?

mikesmith:
Thats the only way I can see it being done (even Destry's),and I think Price racing had them when they were racing KX500's.I dont see them using a 250 cover,looks like they cut the outer part of the 500 cover off,weld on lugs,then machine a new outer cover to bolt on.I dont think it'd be to hard to do when you look at it in picture's of it.
