quick question.. do you absolutly have to split the cases when you drill it to 17mm?
also why do you have to drill out the swing arm mount anyway? if im using everything from my kx500 im trying to understand why i wold have to do so. any help understanding this would be great. thanks

 the cases can be drilled together, in fact its widely believed on here that its better to drill them together. remember my build is different to yours i used the 250 swing arm. i would say if your using the 500 swing arm then you will not have to drill the cases at all. however the 250 frame has 17mm holes for the 17mm swing arm bolt, imo to make a good job of it you will have to use some custom made washers 17mm 0n the out side and 15mm on the inside to sleeve the holes down. i would say the first thing you should do is get the 99-02 frame so you can have a look at what is needed, we need junk man to chime in this, you could try pm to him. if not im sure we will sort it out
