Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)

I have a '97 CR250 frame, modifications minor compared to other AF's?

Oh crap what a pain. The 2002 is easier to do, due to a smaller diameter swingarm pivot area. I got it & the pipe will clear with out raising the Y ,so far anyway, I havent checked kick start interferance yet which will be the tell all. I'd like to have a 02-07 swingarm to look at to see if it is diameter or width, cause if it's just diameter you could pick one up on ebay & not have to diegrind a bunch on the swinger & just use the one for the newer bike.  One other comment on using your 97 vs 00 or newer. The 2000 & newer had a newer design of front fork that I feel would be a waste not to use. Anyway just my 10 cents, if I can help feel free to ask.

Thanks, I am starting the process this coming weekend.  I picked up a '00 K5 motor so I don't have to take my K5 apart now ;-)  I'll be coming to you with some questions if that's ok?

  TIA-
