i would love a new miller with auto-set. you just select the thickness of you material instead of the heat or voltage. then the welder automatically provides the wire speed. im a tard when it comes to setting up a welder and i think even i could weld with the new millers.

I've read about those welders a month or so ago. They sound idiot proof lol. Just the mig for me. I have a hard time welding with mig. I can arc weld great though.

Don made a good point.if your frame is a 95, get the appropriate parts and modify them from there.if you dont know the interchangerbility of the 250 yrs, it will make life a lot easier in the long run.BDI's peri frame 500 is the dogs danglers, so if he says you'll need to mod everything, I'd believe him.....As long as your ready for the long haul, go for it......Kman.

Thank you very much everyone. Bike is on hold for a while. In the process of finding a new place to live. Hopefully with a bigger garage and a 220 outlet for my Lincoln stick welder from the 60's :-D

Been thinking about this project a lot lately. I have had plenty of seat time on my K5 and it still feels like a tank to me. So I want to tear it down and put it in the 250 frame before I build another quad with it lol.
Things I need to know are: What year/brand CR5 pipes to use? What year parts interchange with 95 KX250? Do I need a different intake boot to line the carb with the airbox?
