Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
Its my time... KX250F with 250 2T 1989 Engine.... (similar KX500)
junk man:
Hey JB what bike was complete hopefully it is the 250F anything that bolt to it use it will make your build easier and see you have the old cradle in your new frame the top of the cradle looks strong enough but did you just butt weld the bottom. If it was me i would find a piece of tube off your 89 frame that will fit around where its butt welded about 2 1/2 in. long or so and split it and center it and form it around the bottom of the cradle and weld it across the the tube not around this will make a nice gusset you also could use a narrower piece on the top of the tube
Well have fun and good luck JM
